(NewsNation) — A House subcommittee is holding a field hearing in Charlotte, North Carolina, focused on violent crime in the city.
The hearing follows the death of Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee who was stabbed on a commuter train by another passenger. Zarutska's killing, which was caught on camera, has drawn outcry across the nation, including the Trump administration.
The incident has also led to a new anti-crime bill in North Carolina, dubbed Iryna's Law.
Family members of victims of violent crime are expected to speak at Monday's hearing, including a grandmother who is planning to discuss the need for greater accountability. Members of the House Judiciary Committee will also hear testimony from local police officers and community leaders.
