       He said transit officers entered the train at the next stop in Hayward, Calif., about 16 miles south of Oakland, after several 911 calls came in and found the victim bleeding. He later died of his injuries.

       "Our thoughts are with the deceased and his loved ones," BART said in a statement on Twitter.

       Officers arrested the suspect after searching the area.

       The station was closed for several hours while officers investigated, BART said.

       Nia Wilson, 18, died in the attack.
