Iryna should still be alive.
 
She came to the U.S. after escaping the war in Ukraine, hoping to build a new life.
 
Instead, she was killed aboard a light rail train on her way home from work.
 
One year later, difficult questions remain:
 
What changed?
What promises were kept?
And where is the system still failing?
This investigation examines Charlotte's response—and the gaps that remain.
