Horrific footage captured the moment a madman fatally stabbed a Ukrainian refugee from behind as she sat on a train in North Carolina.

The sickening attack unfolded on August 22, soon after Iryna Zarutska, 23, boarded a South End light rail train in Charlotte.

Cops identified the stabber as homeless man Decarlos Brown Jr., 35, who has a lengthy rap sheet, including an arrest for assaulting his sister.

He was seen in the footage watching Zarutska for some time after she sat in the seat in front of him, eventually taking out what appeared to be a blade from his pocket.

He then stood up and loomed over the 23-year-old, swinging the knife at her as she sat with her phone.

Brown was shown leaving a trail of blood throughout the train as other passengers appeared not to realize the killing that had taken place, before he rips off his shirt.

He was arrested soon after and charged with first-degree murder. His bond was subsequently denied by a judge and he remains in custody.

Zarutska’s heartbroken family said on a GoFundMe page that she had only arrived in the US in 2022 ‘seeking safety from the war’ in her home country, and ‘hoping for a new beginning’ before the slaying. (Read more: The Daily Mail, 9/8/2025)  (Archive)

Teresa Stokes, the DEI-appointed magistrate judge who isn’t even admitted to the North Carolina bar, and released DeCarlos Brown Jr. before he brutally murdered Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, is married to a woman.

She’s a lesbian. But, not just any lesbian.

Teresa Ann Stokes and Ayanna Rosalyn Ballard applied for a marriage license in Ingham County, Michigan, in April of 2019.

Teresa and Ayanna are a married couple that apparently enjoys working together. In 2021, they were working together at their halfway house fried chicken joint, Wing Heaven Sports Haven, in Lansing, Michigan, and they are both directors of Pinnacle Recovery Group, a nonprofit corporation in Lansing, Michigan.

Since the married lesbian couple relocated to North Carolina, Teresa Stokes was appointed as a Mecklenburg County magistrate, and her wife, Ayanna Ballard, is a “health care provider” affiliated with a Charlotte, NC, mental health and addiction clinic that specializes in court-ordered evaluations.

It’s worth mentioning that Charlotte, North Carolina is located in Mecklenburg County, within the same jurisdiction that her magistrate wife presides over.

This extreme connection deserves further scrutiny.

Did they coordinate in their respective professions?

Perhaps there should be an investigation into these mental health and addiction “court evaluations” overseen by Teresa Stoke’s wife.

How convenient for her wife that she is married to a magistrate judge with a soft spot for violent criminals and drug addicts.

Very alarming!

Mecklenburg County Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes, the DEI Shaniqua magistrate judge who released DeCarlos Brown Jr., the feral career criminal, in January 2025, who was caught on video viciously murdering Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on the Charlotte, NC light rail train last month, sold chicken wings before she became a judge. @LoomerUnleashed has uncovered an old news clip about Teresa Stokes and her chicken wings.

See video below 👇🏻

Perhaps she should have focused on selling chicken wings instead of unleashing dangerous predators back into our society.

Magistrate Judge and fried chicken restaurateur Teresa Stokes, co-owner of Wing Heaven Sports Haven, openly admitted in a March 15, 2021 interview in Lansing, Michigan with FOX 47 to losing a brother and a nephew to drug addiction in 2020, revealing a clear bias for those struggling with substance abuse—and her statements suggest she extends excessive compassion to such individuals, perhaps too much so in the case of DeCarlos Brown Jr.

Wing Heaven Sports Haven described itself online as a “sober and recovery atmosphere” that catered to drug addicts and criminals before it permanently closed.

The interview also confirmed that Teresa Stokes is co-owner of Pinnacle Recovery Services, a Lansing nonprofit housing program.

Radical leftist judges who are deliberately ignoring our Constitution and common sense are unleashing an uncontrollable violent black crime wave on innocent civilians in our country. These radical activist judges are literally just as dangerous as the killers they are unleashing upon us.

How do you go from selling chicken wings to being a magistrate judge?

This is insane. And it’s one of the most obvious examples of how DEI= DIE.
