Alleged Charlotte light rail attacker facing federal chargeFederal criminal charges were filed in Charlotte on Tuesday afternoon by the United States Department of Justice against the man accused of fatally stabbing a 23-year-old Ukrainian woman on a Charlotte light rail over two weeks ago.The Department of Justice said on Tuesday, Aug. 9, that they have filed federal criminal charges against 34-year-old DeCarlos Brown Jr. He was charged with one count of committing an act causing death on a mass transportation system.“Iryna Zarutska was a young woman living the American dream — her horrific murder is a direct result of failed soft-on-crime policies that put criminals before innocent people,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “I have directed my attorneys to federally prosecute DeCarlos Brown Jr., a repeat violent offender with a history of violent crime, for murder. We will seek the maximum penalty for this unforgivable act of violence — he will never again see the light of day as a free man.”The FBI is investigating the case with the assistance of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Brown's own mother says that her son has serious mental issues and argues the court system should not have let him free. Congressman Mark Harris (NC-8) joins the Rundown to discuss the horrific incident and the practical solutions to stop this kind of crime.

Tune in here to this ​Monday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about the growing national attention surrounding the tragic murder on Charlotte’s light rail system and the mounting public outcry for stronger transit safety. He highlights how the story—originally local—has now made headlines nationwide, including coverage by CNN and Fox News, largely prompted by comments from former President Donald Trump. Brett is joined by veteran reporter Mark Garrison, who shares his firsthand experience riding the light rail to investigate safety conditions. Garrison reports limited and inconsistent security presence, open violations of train policy, and a lack of regular ticket enforcement. He reveals that even minimal enforcement—such as standing at train doors—successfully deters fare evaders and loiterers. Later, Jensen has an exclusive interview with Charlotte City Council candidate Namrata Yadav to discuss public safety, accountability, and her motivation for entering the race. Yadav, running as a Democrat at-large, shares her concerns about the light rail tragedy and calls for urgent reform in security, transparency, and leadership. She expresses support for police recruitment and retention while advocating for preventive measures like youth programs and mental health resources. We’re also joined by Charlotte mayoral candidate Brendon McGinnis to discuss his sharp criticisms of current leadership and his vision for the city’s future.McGinnis expressed frustration over the city’s delayed and weak response to the recent light rail tragedy. He criticized Mayor Vi Lyles for what he described as a lack of leadership and planning, calling her Charlotte’s version of Joe Biden due to her apparent confusion and hesitations during public statements. McGinnis attended the city’s transit safety meeting and dismissed it as ineffective, arguing it lacked transparency and failed to engage concerned citizens.

The Queensland Government announced that the final stage of the light rail project has been scrapped. The multi-billion-dollar project that would have connected Burleigh Heads to Coolangatta and the Gold Coast Airport will instead be replaced by more rapid buses. Local MP for Burleigh, Herman Vorster, told Gary Hardgrave on 4BC Drive, "Although light rail stage four won't proceed, we will have a far superior rapid bus system connecting Burleigh to the airport." "We're also developing a whole-of-city transport plan. It's a much more holistic approach, and it's not going to splurge $9.85 billion replacing a pretty good bus service." Vorster continued.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
