A man is accused of threatening employees at a Las Vegas casino and hotel company, including its CEO, after it honored slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, the 8 News Now Investigators have learned.

On Sept. 10, a gunman shot and killed Kirk, 31, during an event at a Utah university. In the aftermath, Station Casinos memorialized Kirk on its marquees with a photo and the message: “In loving memory of Charlie Kirk.”

On Friday, Sept. 12, a Station Casino employee contacted police about a call from a person complaining about the marquee memorials for Kirk.
