In Oakland, California, a 27-year-old white man has been arrested for attacking two young African-American women on a BART train, killing 18-year-old Nia Wilson and wounding her sister Letifah. The stabbing attack sparked widespread outrage in Oakland, where hundreds of people marched through the streets Monday night to demand justice for Nia. Many Oakland residents have denounced the attack as a hate crime. Authorities say they have not yet connected the suspect, John Lee Cowell, with any white supremacist groups.
