Nia Wilson was boarding the BART train in Oakland on Sunday when a White man stabbed her and the neck and wounded her older sister Tashiya Wilson in a “random” attack.
BART spokesman Jim Allison said, “Police have train video and station video and other identifying material and they are following those leads right now.”

Tashiya was taken to a hospital for treatment, but her little sister Nia passed away on the scene. Witnesses describe the suspect as a 5’9″ white male, who is heavy set with short blonde hair in his 20s or 30s.
As of now, there is no reported motive for the stabbing, but this definitely sounds like a hate crime. Nia’s dad spoke to reporters about the tragic incident.
