CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA - The graphic, nightmarish video captured the terror in Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska's eyes as she cowered from the man who had just attacked her.
Moments later, she collapsed lifeless on to the floor of the crowded, light rail train in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Zarutska did not know the man who allegedly plunged a knife into her neck in a random, unprovoked attack.
They hadn't even had a glimmer of interaction when the 23-year-old boarded the train to commute home from her job at a pizza parlor.
But the man - 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr. - was well-known to law enforcement.
And so too was his family.
As the nation reels from the unprovoked murder of a woman who had fled the war in her home country for a new life in America, the Daily Mail has uncovered new details about the criminal past of Brown's family.
And haunting parallels have emerged between Brown's alleged crimes and those of his younger brother Stacey Dejon Brown.
Court records and police reports show Stacey - one year Brown's junior - is currently serving a 36-year sentence in state prison for the 2012 murder of a 65-year-old man.
