Anastashia Morales, 18, was killed while trying to intervene in a late-night altercation on a Metro Line 115 bus in Los Angeles on August 22, 2025. The confrontation occurred just before 11 p.m. near Manchester and Belford avenues in the Westchester area. Witnesses and police say she stepped in to calm an argument between her boyfriend and another passenger; moments later a man produced a handgun and fired multiple rounds inside the coach.

Paramedics took Anastashia to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The county medical examiner identified her and ruled the manner of death a homicide from a gunshot wound to the torso. Early reports describe the shooter fleeing the scene; detectives opened a homicide investigation and were reviewing footage, witness statements, and the bus route to identify the gunman. Some unconfirmed secondary accounts suggested the suspect could have been a teenager, but no arrest had been confirmed in initial reports.

Did anyone on the bus that night or in the Westchester area see details that could help identify the shooter?
