A chilling video of moments when Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, was stabbed to death by a career criminal has now emerged on social media platforms.
The video shows Zarutska sitting on the seat of the light rail, which she boarded at 9:46 PM. At first, she can be seen scrolling on her phone. Minutes later, the accused, sitting right behind her seat, stands up, pulls out a folding knife, and stabs her three times.
The man, identified as 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr, then walks through the rail car and stands near the door and gets off at the next stop.
