Death penalty demand: Trump urges execution in Charlotte light rail killing of Ukrainian woman
President Donald Trump called for the death penalty after the fatal stabbing of 23-year-old Ukrainian woman Iryna Zarutska on Charlotte’s light rail. The suspect, 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr., faces a federal charge that could make him eligible for capital punishment. The case has fueled a political fight over transit safety, mental health, and crime. A vigil is planned for Sept. 22.
