Prosecutors said Demetrius Thurman, 40, stabbed 37-year-old Dominique Pollion while he was sleeping on a Blue Line train early Saturday morning.
According to court records, Pollion had been asleep in a train car for about an hour and had no interaction with Thurman before the stabbing. Prosecutors said they did not know each other.
At around 2:17 a.m., Thurman allegedly walked up behind Pollion, began recording with his phone and with a knife with a bright orange handle, stabbed Pollion once in the chest near his heart and a second time in the abdomen.
Pollion reportedly woke up, screamed and tried to back away down the aisle before collapsing. Thurman then crossed into another train shortly before the train pulled into the Clark/Lake station, according to prosecutors.
Pollion was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he died.
Prosecutors said the entire incident and aftermath were captured on CTA surveillance video and on Thurman’s phone.
