Danielle Harlemon was a 28-year-old Black woman killed in a sudden act of violence on a Metro B (Red) Line train in Hollywood, California. In the pre-dawn hours of Sunday, October 10, 2021, witnesses reported a man described as agitated pacing on the train and then engaging in a verbal argument with Danielle, who was seated nearby. As the train stopped at the Hollywood/Vine station, the man shot her, then exited the train and fled onto Hollywood Boulevard. Passengers performed CPR; Danielle was taken to a hospital but was pronounced dead.

The shooter was identified as Andre Dunlap. At the time he was homeless and on parole for an attempted robbery; he had a 2018 conviction for assaulting another passenger on a Metro train. Dunlap fled to Indiana but was arrested in South Bend on November 4, 2021, and extradited to Los Angeles to stand trial. He claimed self-defense at trial; the judge rejected that claim and found him guilty of second-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a felon, including an allegation he personally used a firearm. In August 2024 a judge sentenced Dunlap to the maximum term of 61 years to life in state prison.

Did anyone on that train or nearby that morning see something that hasn’t been shared publicly?
