Witnesses told police they saw an agitated man, believed to be Dunlap, pacing back and forth on the train shortly before the shooting .They told police they saw Harlemon sitting nearby and that the shooting followed a verbal argument between the two of them near the Hollywood and Vine stop.

Harlemon was taken to the hospital with several gunshot wounds and later died of her injuries, LAPD said, adding that her shooter got away on Hollywood Boulevard.

At the time of the murder, Dunlap was homeless and on parole for an attempted robbery in L.A, an area he was known to frequent, LAPD said.

Investigators said Dunlap is from Indiana, and they searched there because they believed he fled home after Harlemon's murder.

At this time there are no other suspects, LAPD said. Dunlap is set to be extradited back to L.A. for murder charges. His bail is set at $2,085,000.
