The man suspected of fatally stabbing a woman on a Metro B (Red) Line train in the Studio City area has a prior conviction for attacking someone on a Metro train in 2019.
Elliott Tramel Nowden, 45, seen above in a booking photo provided by the Los Angeles Police Department, was charged Wednesday, April 24, 2024, with murder in the stabbing death of a woman who boarded the Metro B Line train in North Hollywood on Monday, April 22. He has a prior conviction for attacking someone on a Metro train, according to court records.
Nowden was being held in lieu of $2 million bail, but Gascón said prosecutors were asking him to be held without bail. He was expected to appear in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom for arraignment Wednesday, according to the District Attorney’s Office.Police said the victim — 66-year-old Mirna Soza Arauz — had boarded the downtown-bound train at the nearby North Hollywood station and was stabbed in an apparently unprovoked attack.
According to the GoFundMe page, Arauz died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after she was “viciously attacked on the commute home after work on the Metro train at Universal City station.” According to Los Angeles Superior Court records, Nowden pleaded no contest in June 2019 to battering a passenger on a Metro train. Details of the crime were not immediately available. He was ordered to spend five days in jail and three years on probation — during which he was barred from boarding or riding any Metro trains.
“It sounds like we had made a lot of progress in making Metro safer recently, and it’s unfortunate that this type of event really pushed the department back a lot and makes people feel less safe boarding Metro,” Shields said. Choi said LAPD’s transit service team is in communication with Metro’s leadership on how to best increase security presence and make sure officers are deployed during early morning hours.
