The clip, which accumulated millions of views and over 45,000 likes before being taken down, carried the caption "Paying my disrespects."

The 31-year-old conservative commentator was shot in the neck and killed by a sniper from a nearby campus rooftop on September 10 while speaking during his national "American Comeback Tour."

Following the tragedy, authorities arrested and charged 22-year-old Tyler James Robinson with aggravated murder, while several employees across the U.

S. faced terminations for celebrating the death online.

A Utah Valley University spokesperson confirmed to Fox News Digital that university officials are fully aware of the footage.

Turning Point USA spokesperson Andrew Kolvet issued a scathing statement to Fox News Digital after the organization was alerted to the video.

"Celebrating the assassination of an innocent human being, who was also a devoted father and husband, is vile and disgusting behavior, but it's also why assassination culture is rising on the political left," said Andrew Kolvet.

Kolvet noted that the organization was initially unaware of the clip but expressed deep regret over its existence.

"This is part of the permission structure online that has made it possible. We were unaware of this video, but regret that we now are.

Hopefully she wakes up one day and feels rightfully embarrassed by what she's become," added Kolvet.

The provocative post drew sharp condemnation from numerous social media users who viewed the behavior as highly inappropriate.

"Paying your disrespect, girl, I love you," wrote one user.

While some viewers applauded the video, others expressed complete disgust over the choice of location.

"Beautiful," added another commentator.

The comment section remained heavily divided between critics slamming the disrespect and followers cheering the creator.

"As a mother, not your mom, I'm proud of you," wrote a third commentator.

Other users questioned the platform's content trends, arguing that such serious locations should not be used for social media stunts.

"This is so incredibly disrespectful," wrote one user.

Many individuals expressed shock that a murder site was used for online clout.
