Charlie Kirk also was a celebrity. There's a long history of obsessed fans seeking to do harm to the object of their obsession. Usually, it's just an imaginary "slight" that sets off a stalker's decision to seek a violent solution (e.g. Rebecca Schaefer's murderer believed that she was being unfaithful to him because she appeared in a love scene in a movie).
