Overview

• The Charlotte Area Transit System said it did not authorize the on-train filming and reported that security escorted the crew off the vehicle after a See-Say app tip.
• The video opens with original transit surveillance and then reenacts the scene with actors, depicting DaBaby intervening to stop the attack that killed 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska.
• The YouTube post labels the visual a dedication to Zarutska and links to her family’s GoFundMe, which news outlets report has raised more than $430,000.
• Local broadcaster WCNC said its news footage used in the video appeared without the station’s permission, and it has requested comment from DaBaby’s team.
• Separate from the video’s release, accused attacker DeCarlos Brown Jr. remains in custody and was ordered on Sept. 12 to undergo a mental-health competency evaluation.
