President Donald Trump is calling for the death penalty for Decarlos Brown Jr., the mentally ill, homeless man charged with the brutal murder of Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee.
"The ANIMAL who so violently killed the beautiful young lady from Ukraine, who came to America searching for peace and safety, should be given a “Quick” (there is no doubt!) Trial, and only awarded THE DEATH PENALTY," Trump wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday morning. "There can be no other option!!!"
On August 22, Zarutska boarded a light rail train in Charlotte, North Carolina, after getting off of work. Security camera footage from the train shows Zarutska scrolling on her phone with Brown sitting behind her before he stands up and stabs her in the neck. Brown then exits the train with blood dripping from his knife on the floor. Zarutska sobs in her seat while bystanders completely ignore her. She was pronounced dead by law enforcement officials on the scene.
