Tune in here to this ​Friday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen!

Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about the start of college football season and why tonight’s Duke’s Mayo Classic at Bank of America Stadium is a major step forward for UNC Charlotte. He recalls covering the sport since the late 1990s and explains how the expansion of playoffs and growth of programs have reshaped the game

Later, Jensen turned his focus to the horrific stabbing on the Lynx Blue Line that claimed the life of 23-year-old Irina Zarutska, a refugee from Ukraine who had come to Charlotte seeking safety. He detailed how the suspect, 34-year-old DeCarlos Brown Jr., was arrested, charged with murder, and denied bond at his first court appearance. Jensen highlighted emotional testimony from Zarutska’s uncle, who called her a “sweet angel” and pleaded with the judge to keep Brown in custody to protect others. Court records revealed Brown’s violent criminal history, while reports indicated he may undergo a competency evaluation.
