US judge finds man accused of killing woman on Charlotte train incompetent to stand trial

A US judge ruled that Decarlos Brown Jr, 35, is currently incompetent to stand trial for the fatal stabbing of Iryna Zarutska. Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, was killed on a Charlotte light rail train in August. The US attorney’s office for the western district of North Carolina confirmed Brown will remain in custody to receive treatment. The case gained national attention following the release of surveillance footage depicting the violent attack on the commuter train.
