A high-profile killing on a Charlotte light rail train has hit a legal pause after a court filing concluded the suspect is not currently fit to face trial.
Decarlos Brown Jr., 35, has been deemed “incapable to proceed” on state murder charges tied to the death of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee, per the New York Post.
The finding comes from a motion filed April 7 following a mental health evaluation conducted late last year.
According to WBTV, Brown was evaluated on Dec. 29 at Central Regional Hospital. The resulting report determined he is not competent to stand trial at this time.
A judge must now review the report and decide whether to accept its conclusions. If the findings are upheld, the case will likely be delayed until Brown’s competency is considered “restored” by the court

He was also sane enough to say “I got that white girl...” after he killed her.
Should be put to death to protect society from him.
Perhaps euthanasia would be the proper treatment for his condition in the Canadian way.
Well, anyone who would something like that is ergo crazy and we will just keep him around for yuks; a couple of years in the nuthouse and we can let him go.
“The real issue is why a multiple violent felon who was obviously insane was put back out on the street when it was obvious he was a menace to society.”
Charlotte seems to be fond of putting these insane psychos back out on the sidewalks as soon as possible after their arrests. Charlotte is not a safe place to be, in my opinion.
I smell Cooper.
This is another example of legal *IDIOCY*. ... Sh*tty legal system. Sh*tty judges.
He is fit, though, to roam the streets.
A wet hemp rope with a slow drop.
If he is unfit to face trial, then he is certainly unfit to be running loose on the streets .
