Turning Point USA Cancels Rally at UW After Murder of Transgender Student
Students criticized the appearance after the killing of a 19-year-old transgender student, and police have not announced a motive or made arrests.
- Late Tuesday evening, activist Chloe Cole announced the postponement of her scheduled appearance at the University of Washington, originally set for Wednesday with conservative group Turning Point USA.
- The decision followed the fatal stabbing of a 19-year-old transgender student Sunday evening in the laundry room of Nordheim Court, an off-campus housing complex affiliated with the university in Seattle.
- Cole claimed Antifa had assembled a militia and made explicit threats on her life, stating "our security team and our PD are frankly unprepared for" the attention; she also cited Charlie Kirk's September 2025 assassination.
- University spokesperson Victor Balta clarified that the national Turning Point USA organization, not the local chapter, made the postponement decision after the Student Activities Office discussed the event's timing with organizers.
- Seattle Police continue investigating the Sunday homicide with no suspect identified or motive announced, while the killing has intensified conversations on campus about campus safety and fears within the LGBTQ+ student community.
