LOS ANGELES—A 38-year-old man has been shot to death on a Metro train in Baldwin Hills in the latest fatality on the troubled transit system, and police Saturday were searching for four suspects who fled the scene on foot or possibly on skateboards.
A man later identified as Juan Garcia was involved in an argument with the suspects on the street level of the Metro E (Gold) Line’s La Cienega/Jefferson Station at about 7:40 p.m. Friday, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. The argument continued onto the train, where one suspect pulled out a gun and shot the man in the head, LAPD Officer Drake Madison told City News Service.
