Decarlos Brown Jr. has been federally indicted for the fatal stabbing of Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee, aboard a Charlotte light rail train. The incident, which sparked outrage and a decline in Blue Line ridership, poses the possibility of the death penalty as the authorities respond to the severity of the crime. A federal grand jury has formally charged Brown, who was seen walking calmly away from the scene after the attack. The upcoming court hearings, including a delay until 2026, have ignited public fury and calls for justice.
