TRACK STAR STABBED DEAD, SUSPECT WALKS FREE, VICTIM’S ATTACKED, HOME “SWATTED”

Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, just 23 years old, leaves her homeland to start a new life in the United States, along with her family. Known for her love of animals and art, Iryna dreams of becoming a veterinary assistant. Her tight-knit family supports her as she adapts to life in the U.S. Mastering English and landing work at a pizza restaurant. But one Friday night after work, things take a terrifying turn that could have possibly been avoided, according to some lawmakers. After her shift, Iryna boards the Charlotte, North Carolina, Transit System, unknowingly sitting in front of Decarlos Brown Jr., a man with a violent past and rap sheet. Without warning, Decarlos Brown pulls out a pocketknife, stands, and lunges over the seat, stabbing Iryna in the neck. As he walks away, blood dripping from the knife onto the train floor, Iryna fights desperately for her life, clutching her neck but unable to call for help. Passengers just watch, some recording the brutal attack and her bleeding out, as others flee in panic, doing nothing to help the dying passenger, Iryna. Decarlos Brown paces the train, changes his shirt, and calmly exits the train at the next stop. Her fatal stabbing has generated national outrage after the video of the killing was released, and the suspect was identified as having a history of violent crimes and should be in jail. The public questions how a repeat offender was free to roam. Decarlos Brown Jr., 34, was charged with committing an act causing death on a mass transportation system and is being held without bond.

The FBI has released images of a person of interest in the Charlie Kirk shooting, offering a $100,000 reward for information. The killer is still at-large Authorities say the shooter fired from a central building that houses the university's welcome center. Part of that building is just over 100 meters from the location where Charlie Kirk was speaking to an estimated crowd around 3,000. A live stream of the video, with high-quality audio, captures the assassination. Many in the crowd duck, scream, and start to panic in the moments after the single shot is fired. Police say a high-powered rifle has been found in nearby woods, as well as a "footwear impression... and a forearm imprint."
