Brown Jr. slaughtered Iryna Zarutska because he thought she was reading his mind

SUMMARY

A Charlotte man, Decarlos Brown Jr., is accused of murdering Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train. He reportedly believed she was reading his mind. His sister, Tracey Brown, described him as a paranoid schizophrenic, claiming he often said the government had implanted a chip in him.

She mentioned, “A person that is hearing voices in their head and believes the world is against them, they’re going to break. And I think that night he broke.” Tracey’s mother attempted to get him mental health care but faced obstacles due to legal issues. His behavior worsened after his release from prison in 2022.
