A final message before his de:ath

Just minutes before the fatal incident, Kirk had posted online about the tragic death of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, who was stabbed to death on a train in North Carolina last month. Zarutska had fled her war-torn country to seek safety and a fresh start in the United States.

The man accused of killing her, 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr., has been charged with first-degree murder.

In his last post on X, Kirk wrote: “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.”

Fans responded in shock after his own death, with one writing: “If this was your final statement, rest assured that it will be taken to heart – both for her and for you.”
