Lurbis Elena Vence, 51, of Molino, Colombia, was shot and killed on February 3, 2020, during a shooting aboard a northbound Greyhound bus on Interstate 5 over the Grapevine near Lebec, California. The shooting took place about 1:30 a.m.; the Kern County Coroner’s Office ruled her death a homicide and reported she had been shot multiple times.

The gunfire injured five other passengers: a 45-year-old Hispanic man, a 39-year-old Black woman, a 19-year-old Hispanic woman, a 49-year-old Hispanic man, and a Hispanic female minor. Passengers and the bus driver subdued and disarmed a man identified as 33-year-old Anthony Devonte Williams, who then exited the bus and was arrested by the California Highway Patrol without further incident.

Williams was booked into the Kern County Jail on one count of first-degree murder for Vence and five counts of attempted murder for the injured passengers; he was held without bail and scheduled to appear in court on February 13, 2020. The motive remained under investigation.

Did anyone on the bus or nearby that night notice anything unusual before the shooting?
