In a chilling incident that has shaken Bay Area commuters, a woman lost her life after being pushed onto the tracks at Powell Street Station, and BART Police have swiftly apprehended a suspect. According to BART officials, the attack happened at around 11:06 pm on Monday when the 74-year-old victim was suddenly pushed into the side of a moving Millbrae-bound train, causing fatal injuries.

The suspect in custody is identified as 49-year-old Trevor Belmont, also known by the name Hoak Taing, whose current status as a transient not diminishing the gravity of the crime he's alleged to have committed—the first homicide to occur on the BART system this year. Officers arrested Belmont on the platform shortly after the incident occurred, securing the scene, gathering evidence, and ensuring no further harm came to the gathered public.

BART PD has launched a full investigation into the night's events corroborated by witness interviews, surveillance video review, and forensics with the hopes to uncover a motive, which to this hour, remains elusive. The suspect was quickly detained and is set to be booked into San Francisco County Jail.
