Jeremiah, who has the same father as Decarlos Brown Jr. — the 34-year-old man charged in connection with the brutal murder of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska in a light rail car — indicated to the New York Post that he believes the killing could have been “prevented.”

Decarlos Brown Jr., who already had a criminal record before allegedly perpetrating the fatal attack in North Carolina last month, was arrested earlier this year for allegedly misusing the 911 system, but then released on a written promise to appear, according to court records. 

“I think they could have pretty much prevented it then,” Jeremiah told the Post.

Zarutska had come to the U.S. to get away from the Russia-Ukraine war.

“In August 2022, she emigrated from Ukraine with her mother, sister, and brother to escape the war, and she quickly embraced her new life in the United States,” her obituary notes.
