A fundraiser set up for a North Carolina man accused of murdering a Ukrainian immigrant on a light rail train last month was shut down by GoFundMe .

Multiple GoFundMe pages benefiting Decarlos Dejuan Brown, Jr., 34, were documented in screenshots posted by social media users, according to El Paso Fox affiliate KFOX . Brown is charged with first-degree murder in the fatal stabbing of Iryna Zarutska, 23, a Ukrainian refugee living in North Carolina.

On the night of Aug. 22, Brown sat behind Zarutska on a light rail train. As Law&Crime previously reported, the two did not interact until Brown allegedly stood up and began stabbing Zarutska repeatedly. The alleged incident was caught on the train's surveillance cameras.
