Surveillance footage from the Charlotte light rail system paints a starkly different picture from Declaros’ delusions. Investigators say Iryna was quietly sitting with headphones on when the suspect, seated behind her, suddenly launched a violent and unprovoked attack. Passengers rushed to help her as the train came to a stop, while Declaros attempted to blend in by moving to another car and removing his hoodie. Police were waiting on the platform and arrested him immediately. Authorities later confirmed that Declaros faces first-degree murder charges and has been permanently banned from Charlotte’s public transit system.
