An online fundraiser designed to support a career criminal who brutally murdered a Ukrainian girl onboard a train in North Carolina has sparked fury online.
Decarlos Brown Jr., 35, is facing first-degree murder charges for stabbing Iryna Zarutska, 23, onboard a South End light rail train in Charlotte on August 22.
Shocking surveillance footage from the scene showed him watching Zarutska for some time after she sat in the seat in front of him, eventually taking out what appeared to be a blade from his pocket.
He then stood up and loomed over the 23-year-old, swinging the knife at her as she sat with her phone.
Brown was then seen leaving a trail of blood throughout the train as other passengers appeared not to realize the killing that had taken place.
A Daily Mail review of police records has since revealed that the 35-year-old has spent most of his life in and out of prison.
He was even out on bail and was awaiting trial for misusing 911 when he allegedly stabbed the Ukrainian refugee.
But a GoFundMe insists Brown was just the victim of a broken judicial system, as it raised money for his legal funds.
While what happened on the Blue Line was a tragedy, what we mustn't lose sight of is the fact that Decarlos Brown Jr. was failed categorically by the judicial system and the mental health services of North Carolina, and as such is not entirely to blame for what happened,' it read.
The online fundraiser then went on to note that it is raising money for Brown's legal defense 'and to also get him the aid he needs.'

The bigger problem is that the public did not treat Alvin Bragg as an accomplice after the fact for the thug that was threatening the passengers. Alvin Bragg was the instigator of the whole crime problem.
“It appears the fierce backlash to the fundraiser has already forced GoFundMe to remove it from its site.”
So, Daily Fail clickbait.
Someone should have started a GFM using the judges name,
Ah yes… is this the same gofundme that blocked fundraisers for conservatives and white men accused of crimes even when their fundraisers were to support their legal fees?
Of course it’s (D)ifferent.
watch this video. In fact it’s part of a whole playlist but this one will insight you.

Well this article is a few days old so more that likely news got out and Gofundme removed it after complaints came in
CHARGE GO FUND ME WITH BEING ACCESSORY TO MURDER
It has really annoyed me that people here have been chattering about why she did not carry a weapon.
Colonel Jeff Cooper his own self, if his carotid artery was severed from behind at a distance of less than two feet in a savage sneak attack, would have become unconscious before he could draw and kill the assailant.
The nonjudicial solution to crimes like this is more in the realm of prevention than impossible feats of marksmanship. Since nonjudicial solutions are not acceptable, the freedom of movement of innocent civilians will become increasingly inhibited.
Daniel Perry can’t be everywhere at once.
Yesterday I heard that GFM took down that site, but IDK if that’s true.
Spot on
It seems everyone else on the train was black. There was nothing she could have done in this “Situation”. No one else did anything to help her. If I were on the train I would have done a mag dump on the perp. I am always armed everywhere I go, except voting and jury duty.
It would not have saved her. It would have prevented the perp from ever doing this again. And I would have slipped out to avoid the Daniel Penny treatment.
This is insanity on stilts..with knobs on
Grok:
Yes, GoFundMe removed multiple fundraising campaigns created for DeCarlo Brown Jr. (also spelled Decarlos Brown Jr. or Decarlos Dejuan Brown Jr.), who was charged with first-degree murder in the stabbing death of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on August 22, 2025, aboard a light-rail train in Charlotte, North Carolina.
What soulless POS starts these fundraisers?
Yes. That is why you have to Shoot, Scoot, Shut up.
You start to understand how a Tulsa might have come to pass.
GoFundMe pulled the fundraiser because of the outcry.
No freeper should ever use gofundme...starve tem out!...they are evil.
