John Lee Cowell, the man convicted of murdering 18-year-old Nia Wilson in a knife attack at BART's MacArthur Station in 2018, has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Cowell, 29, was convicted of first-degree murder while lying in wait and attempted murder earlier this year for the July 2018 stabbings of Wilson and her older sister, Lahtifa, as they exited a train at the Oakland station.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ "Never in a million years would I have thought that something like this would happen to my sisters and me considering we live in a diverse city like Oakland," Lahtifa Wilson said in Friday's court hearing, recalling the attack. "You stole my baby sister from her loving family because of your hatred toward Black African American women." #oaklandcalifornia #niawilson
