LOS ANGELES—A homeless man was charged with murder on Jan. 18 for allegedly punching a 70-year-old nurse in an unprovoked attack at a downtown bus stop, causing her to fall down and strike her head on the pavement.
Kerry Bell, 48, was arrested a short time after the Jan. 13 attack on Sandra Shells, who died Sunday at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center, where she worked as a nurse for nearly four decades.
