A tragic video shows the final moments of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, fatally stabbed on a North Carolina train. She had fled war hoping for safety and a fresh start in the United States.
Police arrested 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr., a homeless man with a long criminal history. He was charged with first-degree murder after surveillance revealed him stabbing the young woman three times before calmly walking away. One officer recalled: “He unfolded the knife, paused, then struck the victim three times.”
Shocked passengers at first did nothing but later rushed to help. One man removed his shirt to press her wounds, while another attempted CPR. Sadly, Zarutska collapsed within seconds and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities condemned the brutal crime. FBI Director Kash Patel stated: “This attack was a disgraceful act that should never happen in America. Justice must be served.” Officials confirmed Brown’s history of robbery and violence, vowing he will never walk free again.
This heartbreaking case raises urgent questions about safety, justice, and protection for vulnerable newcomers. What are your thoughts?
