Seems correct. The people who failed to bang him up before though should be held to account, but won't
be.
The 34-year-old suspect, Decarlos Dejuan Brown Jr. (born October 1, 1990),[19] had been arrested 14 times in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, before the stabbing, with criminal charges dating back to 2007.[20][21] On April 11, 2014, he was convicted of breaking and entering. While on probation, he was arrested for armed robbery and possession of a firearm by a felon.[21] Brown was convicted of armed robbery and incarcerated in state prison from 2015 to September 2020.[22][21] Upon release, he initially lived with his family, but his mother told ABC News that he was diagnosed with schizophrenia at this point and displayed violent behavior at home.[22] His mother said that she had sought involuntary commitment, but that it was denied. The Associated Press reported that involuntary commitments are difficult to obtain unless a court finds the person to be dangerous.[23] North Carolina reduced the capacity of state hospitals in the early 2000s, and the average wait time for a psychiatric bed was 16 days in 2024.[24] After Brown stopped taking psychiatric medication, his mother took him to a homeless shelter.[22] In January 2025, he made repeated 911 calls from the grounds of Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center,[25] after speaking with the medical personnel there, claiming that a "man-made material" inside him was controlling his body.[26] Instead of being immediately admitted, Brown was charged with misuse of 911 instead, and released without bond.[27]
In January 2026, it was alleged that Brown was granted early release from prison in February 2021 as part of measures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19[28] in the context of litigation against then-governor of North Carolina Roy Cooper by the American Civil Liberties Union and NAACP.[29] The North Carolina Department of Adult Correction stated that Brown was not released early, and that he was released due to post-release supervision being reinstated by a hearing officer.[30] In February 2026, Donald Trump stated that "Repeat Violent Offender DeCarlos Brown Jr. was put on the streets by Radical Roy Cooper, and his soft-on-crime agenda"
