An Oakland woman was stabbed to death on a San Francisco Bay Area BART platform Sunday night. This was the second BART related homicide of the weekend and the third fatal assault over five-days.

John Lee Cowell, 27, is the primary suspect in a double stabbing Sunday night that killed one woman and critically injured another at the MacArthur station. He has a history of violent crimes and homelessness.

Cowell is a transient based in Concord with a history of arrests. Cowell had arrests for assault with a deadly weapon and robbery. In 2016, the Kaiser Medical hospital in Richmond sought a restraining order against Cowell after he threatened to kill an employee. Cowell spent two years in prison after being sentenced for armed robbery and was released on parole four months ago.
