CEO and Founder at Intercom Eogham McCable has offered $5000,000 to fund painting hundreds of murals of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska in major cities nationwide.

The refugee fled from war-torn Ukraine to come to the US where she was fatally stabbed to death by Decarlos Brown Jr., 34, a career criminal and homeless man.

"I have seen the horrific video of a beautiful, young Ukrainian refugee, who came to America to escape the vicious War in Ukraine, and was innocently riding the Metro in Charlotte, North Carolina, where she was brutally ambushed by a mentally deranged lunatic.
