Metro officials expressed condolences Monday over the death of a 70-year-old nurse who was attacked while waiting for a bus near Union Station, and they vowed to take steps to bolster safety for riders on the transit system.
Sandra Shells was attacked about 5:15 a.m. Thursday near Vignes Street and Cesar Chavez Avenue, a short distance from Union Station, as she waited to catch a bus to her job at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. Shells died Sunday at the hospital.Kerry Bell, 48, described by police as a homeless man, was arrested a short time after the attack and remains jailed in lieu of $2 million bail, according to sheriff’s department records.
“I am devastated to learn that the LAC+USC nurse who was attacked at a Metro bus stop a couple of days ago has succumbed to her injuries,” county Supervisor Hilda Solis, chair of the Metro Board of Directors, said in a statement Monday. “As a frontline essential worker, she helped save countless lives throughout the pandemic and it is a heartbreaking loss to lose a hero.
“This tragic and random act of violence makes us even more determined to maintain our vigilance around safety on our system and we will continue to work with the community and our partners to identify long-term public safety measures,” Wiggins said.
