CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - Video footage released Friday shows the moments leading up to and following the deadly August stabbing of a woman on the Charlotte light rail.
WBTV on Friday, Sept. 5 obtained surveillance video of a deadly stabbing that happened two weeks earlier on the Lynx Blue Line light rail system in Charlotte, North Carolina. You can watch our edit of that video below.
At around 9:50 p.m. on Aug. 22, a light rail passenger stabbed Iryna Zarutska, 23, several times. Officials said she was stabbed in the throat at least one time. Zarutska was pronounced dead on the light rail.
Decarlos Brown Jr., 34, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with Zarutska’s killing. Brown was ordered last week to remain in jail and undergo a competency evaluation.
