The Ukrainian woman’s death was reported by her brother Mykhailo. According to him, the suspect, Caleb Hayden Fosno, arrived at the girl’s house from Ohio, having traveled about 7 hours, after which he entered the apartment where she was staying with her younger brothers and sisters.

“He forced one of our siblings to wake her up and then shot her in bed, taking her life. He also shot her boyfriend, who was sleeping next to her,” Mikhail said.

The suspect left the scene after the incident, but was later apprehended by law enforcement and charged with two counts of first-degree murder.

“A refugee who fled the war in Ukraine seeking safety in the United States was murdered in her own home in North Carolina. This is the second time in the past year that a Ukrainian refugee hiding in North Carolina has been killed by a man. This time, a 25-year-old man with a gun,” Mykhailo said.

According to family information, Kateryna Tovmash had lived in the United States for about 2 years. She moved after the start of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine, seeking safety.
