Overview

• CATS published edited surveillance clips from Aug. 22 showing the suspect pull a folding knife behind Iryna Zarutska and then walk to another car after the attack.
• CMPD identified and arrested Brown, 34–35, on a first-degree murder charge; a judge denied bond and ordered a competency review, according to reports.
• Police say Zarutska was stabbed multiple times, at least once in the neck, and died on the train; a folding knife was recovered near the platform and the suspect was treated for a hand injury.
• Transit officials say they have hired a chief safety and security officer, increased the safety budget, and begun camera upgrades, and the City Council will weigh expanded police patrols on Sept. 22.
• A GoFundMe for Zarutska’s family has raised more than $38,000 as attention to the case grows, and the mayor asked the public not to repost the graphic footage out of respect for relatives.
