Following Kirk’s death, the 31-year-old’s last X post has gone viral. Kirk had commented on the stabbing of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, North Carolina, last month. The event has gained renewed national attention after the suspect, DeCarlos Brown Jr, was charged with the killing.

“If we want things to change, it’s 100% necessary to politicize the senseless murder of Iryna Zarutska because it was politics that allowed a savage monster with 14 priors to be free on the streets to kill her,” Kirk wrote.

The death of Zarutska has been a topic of discussion over the last few weeks, especially after the CCTV footage of the transit railway when the shooting took place was released on social media.

The video showed the suspect, DeCarlos Brown, seated behind Zarutska, before he rose and slits her throat. Iryna Zarutska can be seen in the video collapsing and falling off her seat.
