Death Penalty Decision Made in Case Of Ukrainian Refugee

The Justice Department and FBI announced on Tuesday that the individual who is accused of mercilessly stabbing 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska to death on a train in North Carolina last month has been charged with a federal crime.

Decarlos Brown Jr, 34, is currently being charged with one federal count of committing an act that resulted in the murder of a person on a mass transportation system. This is in addition to the first-degree murder charge in state court that he is currently facing for the alleged murder of Zarutska in the assault that was captured on camera.

“Iryna Zarutska was a young woman living the American dream — her horrific murder is a direct result of failed soft-on-crime policies that put criminals before innocent people,” US Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Tuesday.

“I have directed my attorneys to federally prosecute DeCarlos Brown Jr., a repeat violent offender with a history of violent crime, for murder. We will seek the maximum penalty for this unforgivable crime, and he will never again see the light of day as a free man.”
