Disturbing CCTV footage shows the 23-year-old riding a Charlotte train in her work uniform from Zepeddie’s Pizzeria, moments before and after the attack on August 22.
Her killer, 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr., sat in the seat directly behind her before he unfolded a knife, rose to his feet and violently attacked her.
Brown was arrested and charged with first-degree murder over Zarutska’s death – making him eligible for the death penalty.
Zarutska’s boyfriend, Stanislav “Stas” Nikulytsia, 21, has publicly expressed his grief and anger over the horrific murder.
He posted a photo of the two in swimsuits on Wednesday, captioned simply with a broken heart emoji.
He also changed his bio to include a mushroom emoji – believed to be Zarutska’s favourite – alongside another broken heart.
The young man is described as Zarutska’s “life partner” in her obituary, which revealed the couple had been living together in Charlotte for the past year.
Nikulytsia has also directed his anger at Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes, who freed Brown on cashless bail seven months before the attack.
He reposted Instagram stories calling Stokes “unqualified” and accusing the justice system of enabling violent repeat offenders.
The tragic case has sparked a debate over cashless bail policies, with many questioning how Brown – a man with a history of violent offences – was free to walk the streets.
Stokes released Brown, who had been involved in 14 criminal cases, in January on a “written promise” to appear at a future court date.
But on August 22, he carried out an attack that drew national attention, and as a result, prompted a response from Donald Trump.
The footage shows Zarutska boarding the train and propping her feet up as she looks at her phone.
Other passengers in the carriage are also looking at their phones, except the attacker, who, cloaked in a red hoodie, stares out of the window as the train pulled away from the station.
Just four minutes after Zarutska boards the train, Brown attacks her.
Immediately after the attack, she looks up in horror, appearing to sob as she lowers her head into her hands.
One man sat nearby jumps up and chases after the attacker, who walks away with blood dripping.

Other passengers appear frozen, failing to react in the immediate aftermath.
After footage of Zarutska’s murder was shared by the media, President Donald Trump publicly blamed cashless bail programs, which allow some suspects to be released without posting bond while awaiting trial.
Speaking to reporters at the White House on Tuesday, Trump said Zarutska’s killing proved that Democrat-run cities are failing to protect citizens.
“In Charlotte, North Carolina, we saw the results of these policies when a 23-year-old woman who came here from Ukraine met her bloody end on a public train,” he said.
“She was slaughtered by a deranged monster who is roaming free after 14 prior arrests.”
Trump went on to call for a nationwide crackdown on crime, urging law enforcement to use “force and strength” to prevent future tragedies.

Violent riots broke out against government buildings in the capital Brasília due to the coup[/caption]
Today, Bolsonaro was officially found guilty by Brazil’s Supreme Court who reached the majority of three votes needed[/caption]
He was accused of riling up a furious movement to reject the result in the wake of his defeat.
This culminated in violent riots in Brazil‘s capital, Brasília, in January 2023, a week after Silva took office.
A baying mob of Bolsonaro’s supporters attacked government buildings, wreaking havoc in the Supreme Federal Court and the National Congress Palace amongst other targets.
His lawyers have always denied his involvement or support for any coup movement.
Bolsonaro and his cronies hatched a plan to commandeer all three branches of government and poison the current President, according to the charge sheet.
Prosecutor-General Paulo Gonet said the alleged plot also involved shooting dead Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes – an old foe of the former President.
A total of 34 people were charged over the alleged plot, including high-ranking military officials from Bolsonaro’s administration.
Today, Bolsonaro was officially found guilty by Brazil’s Supreme Court who reached the majority of three votes needed.
Casting the decisive vote, Justice Cármen Lúcia found him guilty on all five charges.
These included attempting to stage a coup, leading an armed criminal organisation, attempted violent abolition of the democratic rule of law, and two more charges related to the damage of property during the storming of buildings in Brasília.
The charges could carry a huge sentence of up to 40 years in prison prison.
Sentencing is scheduled for Friday.
One judge voted to acquit him with Cristiano Zanin yet to vote.
His lawyers are expected to lodge appeals to the guilty verdict.
The far-right politician who governed Brazil between 2019 and 2022 is currently under house arrest.
Bolsonaro is the first former Brazilian president to be convicted of attempting a coup.
Despite his lengthy legal woes, Bolsonaro remains a powerful figure in Brazil.
Days before his guilty verdict was confirmed, thousands of his supporters flooded Sao Paulo in a demonstration against the Supreme Court over the coup trial.
