FEDS PROSECUTING CHARLOTTE BUS KILLER

The feds are going to prosecute Decarlos Brown Jr. for the August 23 murder of Iryna Zarotska, 23, on a bus in Charlotte.  Apparently an obscure and seldom used statute gives the feds a handle for crimes committed on mass transit venues that receive federal funding.

Surveillance video released by the Charlotte Area Transit System shows Iryna Zarutska reacting to being stabbed by Decarlos Brown Jr. on a light-rail train in Charlotte, Aug. 22, 2025.
 

It seems that the feds have no confidence in the locals being willing to prosecute considering Brown's extensive record of serious arrests and zero meaningful consequences.  I can't imagine why they feel that way. (gag gag cough cough puke)

Assuming he is actually convicted the feds can croak him.  Presumably will be happy to do so.  In theory so could North Carolina but they have not terminally rehabilitated anyone in 19 years.
