Kateryna Tovmash, 21, and her boyfriend Matthew Wade, 28, who was stationed at Fort Bragg, were found dead at a residence in Vass after police responded to a report of a shooting on Saturday, according to a statement by the Moore County Sheriff’s Office. Another sister of Wade’s posted on Facebook that Tovmash had been caring for her younger siblings when her ex entered the home and “forced one of her siblings to wake her” before he shot the couple in bed. One of Tovmash’s brothers, who was not at the home during the crime, told followers on Instagram, “this is a second time for the past year, when a Ukrainian woman who is a refugee and is hiding for safety in North Carolina, gets murdered.” He was referencing 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, who was killed on a commuter train last year.
