The stabbing occurred Tuesday afternoon at the Metro train station in the University Park area.

The victim, identified as 27-year-old Jalil Sosa Illera, had been involved in a fight on the train before being stabbed multiple times, police said. The suspect fled the scene before officers arrived.

Authorities released surveillance video on Wednesday of the suspect walking on the train platform in hopes of finding him.

Illera was able to drive himself home after the stabbing and was then transported to the hospital by paramedics. He later died from his injuries.
