   The mother and sister of Decarlos Brown, the suspect in the fatal stabbing   
   of a Ukrainian woman on Charlotte light rail, say that he struggled with   
   mental illness for years after being released from prison and that he   
   claimed there was a "material" in his body that controlled him.   
      
   Brown, 34, was arrested on Aug. 22 after police say he stabbed 23-year-old   
   Iryna Zarutska three times while riding the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte,   
   according to an affidavit obtained by ABC News.   
      
   In audio recordings of a conversation between Brown and his sister several   
   days after his arrest, obtained by ABC News, Brown maintains that he has   
   “material” in his body that caused him to attack Zarutska.   
      
   "Make sure it was me that did it, not the material. And I'm telling you,   
   the material did it," Brown said, according to the recordings.   
      
   The suspect can be heard telling his sister that he did not "even know the   
   lady at all."   
      
   "I never said not one word to the lady at all. That scary, ain't it? So,   
   like, why would somebody stab somebody for no reason?" Brown can be heard   
   telling his sister.   
      
   Brown has been charged by the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Western   
   District of North Carolina with committing an act causing death on a mass   
   transportation system, which could make him eligible for the death   
   penalty, the Department of Justice said Tuesday.   
      
   "This brutal attack on an innocent woman simply trying to get to her   
   destination is an attack on the American way of life. Of course, crimes   
   like this affect the victim the most -- Iryna deserves justice, and we   
   will bring justice to her and her family," U.S. Attorney Russ Ferguson   
   said in a statement on Tuesday.   
      
   Brown's sister and mother said they noticed a difference in his behavior   
   following his incarceration, which ended in 2020, and that it got worse   
   over the three years since he was released.   
      
   Brown's mother, Michelle Dewitt, said her was son was diagnosed with   
   schizophrenia and after his time in prison, he "was different."   
      
   "He wasn't the normal Carlos, the fun Carlos," Dewit told ABC News in a   
   separate interview.

   The 34-year-old suspect has a criminal record including larceny and   
   breaking and entering charges. He also spent five years in prison for   
   robbery with a dangerous weapon starting in 2015, according to the North   
   Carolina Department of Adult Correction. He was also arrested this year   
   for misusing the 911 system, according to court records.   
      
   In total, Brown has been charged 14 times in the past, including an arrest   
   in January, but was "still on the streets" leading up to the attack, North   
   Carolina FBI Special Agent James Barnacle Jr. said on Tuesday.   
      
   Brown's mother told ABC News that after her son had been released from   
   prison in 2020 after serving time for armed robbery, "he was different"   
   and began showing violent behavior like slamming doors and yelling in her   
   face. While he was living with her, he would also walk around the home and   
   talk to himself, Dewitt said.   
      
   Dewitt said her son had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and had been   
   given medication, but she said he refused to take it.

   penalty: DOJ   
   Dewitt said she grew increasingly concerned about the safety of her and   
   her husband and took Brown to a mental health hospital. She said the   
   hospital told her they didn't have enough room to admit Brown and because   
   he wasn't threatening to hurt himself, they couldn't take him.   
      
   She said the hospital told her, "You can't make a person come" to the   
   facility.   
      
   Dewitt said she was left with no option but to go to court to file with a   
   magistrate a petition for her son to get help. As a result of that, she   
   said, a mental health facility kept Brown for 14 days, but eventually   
   released him back to her and her husband’s care.   
      
   She said she had hoped to keep Brown on a schedule and to create a routine   
   for him, but it didn’t work after he stopped taking his medication.   
      
   "We’re just not going to do it anymore,” Dewitt said of how she and her   
   husband were feeling at the time. “We dropped him off at a shelter.”   
      
   The mother identified that shelter as the Roof Above Lucille Giles Men’s   
   Shelter in Charlotte, which is run by a nonprofit organization called Roof   
   Above.

   in North Carolina: Police   
   ABC News reached out to the shelter, but no one from the shelter was   
   immediately available to comment.   
      
   In recent months, Dewitt said she has seen her son on the street, walking   
   up and down, and her younger daughter would see him riding the bus.   
      
   When he was arrested in January for misusing 911, she said he kept saying   
   “he had a chip in him," and that "the police put it in him."   
      
   According to the affidavit from Brown’s arrest in January, officers were   
   responding to a welfare call when Brown told them he believed someone gave   
   him a “man-made” material that controlled what he ate and how he walked   
   and talked.   
      
   Brown's next court appearance in is scheduled for Sept. 19, according to   
   court records. It is unclear whether Brown has an attorney who can speak   
   on his behalf.   
      
   Brown's sister, Tracey Brown, said she is not trying to excuse her   
   brother's alleged actions.   
      
   “At the end of the day, I'm not making any excuse for what happened," she   
   said. "I am saying that if he had the proper care this wouldn’t have   
   happened.”   
      
      
   --   
   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
