Irma Monroy, a 25-year-old homeless woman from Los Angeles, was arrested and booked for murder in the fatal stabbing of a Metropolitan Transportation Authority worker.
On October 16, 2020 at 10:45 p.m., at the 7th Street and Metro train station, police say Monroy “became involved in a verbal dispute with the victim” on the MTA Red Line train. The dispute escalated and Monroy stabbed the victim, ultimately causing his death.
Police did not say what led up to the argument before the fatal stabbing.
Monroy’s bail, which includes an unrelated outstanding felony warrant for Assault with a Deadly Weapon, is set at $2,060,000.
