Valadez according to their Linkedin profile identified as ‘She/Her’ and described themselves as a ‘Student at Bonneville High School’ in Ogden, Utah.
Valadez had a music project titled project titled “God’s Finest Scalpel” and released a digital album in April called “Death to American Scum,” which reportedly included the track titled “Charlie Kirk’s Death Isn’t Enough for Me.”

Skye Valadez controversial song lyrics
Valadez’s work has been described as confrontational and politically satirical. Critics argue her lyrics glorify violence against conservative figures, while supporters interpret them as exaggerated protest art common in radical underground music scenes. Following Kirk’s death, some social media accounts connected to her circle reportedly celebrated the event, amplifying public scrutiny.
Leading into Kirk’s fatal shooting, the conservative firebrand was fielding questions from the audience inside the Sorensen Center courtyard on the Utah Value University campus, ironically discussing transgender shooters.
‘Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?’ an audience member asked. Kirk responded, ‘Too many.’
The questioner followed up: ‘Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?’
‘Counting or not counting gang violence?’ Kirk asked. Just then (does life follow art?) a single shot rang out. Kirk immediately slumped over as the crowd descended into a frenzy.
Skye Valadez social media accounts removed hours ago
Kirk was the founder and president of Turning Point USA, an influential conservative moment and keystone of the youth MAGA movement which President Donald Trump relied on to help him get re-elected.
Nevertheless the group’s politics and stances drew ire and concern. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) had noted TPUSA and Kirk’s ties to SPLC-identified right-wing extremists.
Of note, as The Gateway Pundit was screenshotting and archiving his Facebook account, it was pulled down by either Valadez himself or Meta.
The outlet attempted to reach out to Valadez, but the social media account was removed too quickly.
FBI has indicated it will be making a momentary announcement.
