RIVERSIDE, Calif. (AP) — A man accused of fatally pushing a
woman in front of a freight train in Southern California has
been arrested, authorities said.
The woman, whose name has not yet been made public, was hit by
the train Monday morning in the city of Riverside, about 55
miles (89 kilometers) from downtown Los Angeles, police said
Thursday.
Riverside police said in a statement that the woman and the man,
Kevin Errol Lewis, were in an argument next to the railroad
tracks that turned physical.
During the altercation, Lewis allegedly shoved the woman he was
in a dating relationship with into the path of the train,
killing her, police said.
Officers found Lewis, 41, nearby and detained him, police said.
He is being held in jail without bail on suspicion of murder and
domestic violence, as well as several outstanding warrants for
theft and narcotics violations.
Lewis, whom police described as a transient man, is scheduled to
appear in court on April 25, online jail records showed. It was
not immediately clear whether he had an attorney who could speak
on his behalf.
The killing was similar to a death in New York City in January
that shocked the city after after a woman was pushed to her
death in front of a subway train beneath Times Square in an
apparently unprovoked attack. Police charged Martial Simon, whom
authorities said was homeless, in the slaying of Michelle Alyssa
Go.
Simon is being held in a hospital prison ward and is scheduled
to return to court on Tuesday, online jail and court records
show.
