New Police Bodycam Shows Mental-Health Warnings Months Before Deadly Charlotte Light Rail Stabbing
Decarlos Brown Jr. told police in January he was controlled by a foreign material months before fatally stabbing Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on Charlotte's Lynx Blue Line.
- The Lynx Blue Line train after 9:45 p.m. on August 22 was the scene of a fatal stabbing of Iryna Zarutska, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
- Police released bodycam showing Decarlos Brown Jr. telling officers in January this year that a foreign 'material' was controlling his body, roughly seven months before the killing.
- During a roughly 30-minute welfare check, Brown said the material even 'communicates with you' and told officers 'what's going on? My body got exposed to a material.'
- In October Brown was federally indicted and faces potential capital charges; his schizophrenia and 14 arrests with a six-year sentence have sparked renewed public safety debate.
- The victim, Iryna Zarutska, was a 23-year-old recent arrival to the U.S. seeking safety, while commentators and published essays have questioned why the case received limited attention.
