A North Carolina judge will have to decide if the man who allegedly stabbed a Ukrainian refugee to death on a Charlotte train can stand trial.
DeCarlos Brown, a man with a lengthy criminal history, apparently was caught on video fatally stabbing 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska as she was returning home from her job at a pizza restaurant. Brown was said to be unable to stand trial after being evaluated on Dec. 29, the New York Post reported.
Brown’s record included an armed robbery charge for which he served five years in prison, according to WSOC, a Charlotte-area TV station, saying.
The brutal killing went viral on social media after authorities released the video, which showed Brown stabbing Zarutska at least three times, including once in the neck, on Aug. 22, 2025.
The released video also showed Brown saying, “I got that white girl. I got that white girl.”
