Fort Worth Democrat Councilwoman Elizabeth Beck is under fire for an Instagram story posted shortly after the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, The Dallas Express first reported on its X account, citing CEO Chris Putnam’s post.

As previously reported by The Dallas Express, Kirk was shot and killed during a Q&A session with students at Utah Valley University, the first stop of his “American Comeback Tour.” The 31-year-old leader was a married father of two.

Shortly after the attack, Beck posted a screenshot of a Newsweek headline quoting Kirk as saying gun deaths were “unfortunately” worth it to keep the Second Amendment. She overlaid Kirk’s photo with her own caption: “Unfortunate.” The now-deleted post has triggered outrage across the Metroplex.

“She is publicly celebrating the death of a young husband and father of two young children,” Tarrant County GOP Chairman Bo French said in a statement. “At a minimum, the Tarrant County Republican Party calls for her to be REMOVED from the City Council immediately.”

Fort Worth residents also voiced disgust. “Elizabeth Beck should resign immediately,” Kenya Alu told The Dallas Express. “Charlie had a wife and two young children. To post something like that is disgusting. She is unfit for public office.”

True Texas Project CEO Julie McCarty questioned Beck’s intent. “What exactly is Ms. Beck’s goal here? To encourage more of the same? To pour salt on the wounds of hurting neighbors? To score points with people who think like her for the next election? None of those reasons are good enough. She needs to be removed. She is unfit for public office,” McCarty told The Dallas Express.

Others blasted her actions online. “Anyone celebrating the death of another based on their views is demonic behavior,” Zach Debo posted on X.

Meanwhile, officials across Texas condemned Kirk’s assassination and mourned his death.

“Charlie Kirk, a 31-year-old married father of two, was killed today at an event in Utah. His crime? He loved America and spoke to millions about his beliefs,” Tarrant County Judge Tim O’Hare told The Dallas Express. “Evil is real and must be dealt with swiftly and severely. Jesus is, and will always be, the only answer.”

The Dallas Express reached out to Fort Worth City Council members and Beck for comment but did not receive a response.
