The family of Iryna Zarutska has filed a lawsuit against the City of Charlotte for alleged 'systemic failures' a year after the US was rattled by her horrific murder aboard a tram. Zarutska was fatally stabbed while riding a CATS light rail train on August 22, 2025. The nation was shocked by footage allegedly showing DeCarlos Brown Jr stabbing the 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee in the neck, leaving her bleeding and begging those on the busy tram for help before she died. #IrynaZarutska #DeCarlosBrownJr. #Charlotte #TheCrimeDesk
