DeCarlos Brown Jr. was charged with the murder of 23-year-old Zarutska, who was stabbed on August 22 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

North Carolina Republican officials on Wednesday announced a vigil in honor of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, who died last month in an unprovoked stabbing on Charlotte’s transit system. The vigil will be held at the East/West Boulevard light rail station in Charlotte at 8 p.

The refugee's father could not leave Ukraine to attend the funeral in North Carolina, according to a report in the New York Post.
