Investigators were waiting on surveillance footage from the train and platform to find out the circumstances that may have led up to the shooting.

"Video has to be downloaded and we have to take a closer look at that to see if there was an argument that precipitated the shooting," said Lt. Ryan Rabbett with LAPD’s Homicide Division.

The suspect was described only as a man between 25 and 30 years old; a weapon was not recovered at the scene.

Anyone with information on the crime was urged to call detectives at 213-486-8700; 877-LAPD-247; or Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS
