An 18-year-old Texas Tech student was arrested and expelled after she was caught on video making disturbing comments at a vigil for Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, officials say.

Shocking video shows Camryn Giselle Booker shouting at students gathered Friday near the university’s Student Union Building during a vigil for the conservative activist, allegedly yelling, “F–k y’all homie dead, he got shot in the head.” 

Booker was arrested and charged with one count of assault, classified as a Class C misdemeanor in Texas — the lowest level of criminal offense, a spokesperson for the Lubbock County Sheriff’s Office told Fox News Digital on Monday.

“I’m not being emotional, ma’am,” Booker says. “Don’t tell me what I am and what I’m not. You could get out of my face ’cause I can tell you what you are, but you won’t like it.” 

Booker then adds, “You’re calling me aggressive because I’m a Black woman.”

Texas Governor Greg Abbott weighed in on the incident on Sunday, posting a photo of Booker being arrested on X, along with the caption: “This is what happened to the person who was mocking Charlie Kirk’s assassination at Texas Tech. FAFO.”

Booker posted a $200 bond and was released from jail Saturday afternoon, the Lubbock County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

A representative of Booker declined to comment. 

Texas Tech University did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
