Police took Randy Nash into custody at 9:10 pm Saturday near the 1000 block of West 85th Street, two days after he allegedly plunged a knife into the upper torso of 23-year-old Jesse Rodriguez, according to a Los Angeles Police Department press release.
Police say Nash stabbed Rodriguez “without warning or provocation” on the train at Pershing Square station in downtown Los Angeles at 5:20 pm Thursday, then ran away. Rodriguez was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
Nash is being held on $2 million bail.
