Chicago Community Installs Mural Honoring Iryna Zarutska

A large mural of Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee fatally stabbed Aug. 22 in Charlotte, appeared this month on a brick building at Western and Montrose avenues in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, organizers said. The memorial, reportedly funded in part by Elon Musk (pledged at least $1 million) and Intercom CEO Eoghan McCabe (about $500,000), has reignited national debate over crime, mental-health gaps and local approval processes.
