Charlotte police arrest suspect in second train stabbing incident
Oscar Gerardo Solorzano-Garcia faces five charges including attempted first-degree murder after stabbing a man on Charlotte's Blue Line light rail, amid increased transit security efforts.
- On the evening of Dec. 5, Oscar Gerardo Solorzano-Garcia, a Honduran immigrant, was arrested Saturday and charged with five counts including attempted first-degree murder after a Charlotte light rail stabbing.
- Authorities say the incident began as a verbal altercation on the train and it follows months after the fatal Blue Line stabbing of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska; lawmakers passed Iryna's Law, which took effect recently.
- Kenyon Kareem-Shemar Dobie, 24, was stabbed Friday with a large fixed-blade knife and taken to a local hospital in critical but stable condition.
- Federal officials said Immigration and Customs Enforcement lodged an arrest detainer Saturday to hold the suspect, and DHS noted a 2018 final order of removal, prior deportations, and arrests including robbery and illegal re-entry.
- The attack drew national attention, including comments from President Trump, as law enforcement launched 'Operation Safe Season' and 'Charlotte's Web' to increase patrols, announced last week by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Estella Paterson.
