Cowell's parents stated their belief that the attack was possibly motivated by Cowell's mental illness. Initial perception of the attack as apparently racially-motivated spurred protests at MacArthur BART station and online.
Cowell had been paroled in May 2018 after serving time for second degree robbery, and had previous charges for assault and possession of methamphetamine. Tashiya was not physically harmed.Ĭowell, aged 27, was identified as the suspect immediately following the attack, and he was caught the following day. Her older sister, Letifah, was stabbed in the neck but survived. 18-year-old Nia Wilson died after her throat was slashed. On July 22, 2018, three sisters, Nia, Letifah and Tashiya Wilson, were attacked by a man wielding a knife, later identified as John Cowell, after exiting a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) train at MacArthur station in Oakland, California. Residential units will front onto Turquoise Street with stoops and front porches.Location of MacArthur station in Oakland, Californiaģ7☄9′42″N 122☁6′02″W / 37.828260°N 122.267275°W / 37.828260 -122.267275 ( MacArthur station exit in Oakland, California)įirst-degree murder, assault with a deadly weapon, parole violation Turquoise Street, which provides access to a majority of the residential units, is envisioned as a neighborhood street. The transit village plaza will include outdoor seating, public art, landscaping, and other activity to provide a sense of arrival to the project, especially for BART patrons as they enter and exit the station. The existing BART plaza will be renovated and a new public plaza will be provided immediately east of the BART plaza and fare gates. 39th Street, the main pedestrian and vehicular access to the project, is envisioned as a lively pedestrian street with shops and service uses that include outdoor displays and seating areas. Increased and enhanced access to the BART station is a key component of the approved PUD. At this time, all FDPs have been approved for the five stages of development. The project includes five stages of development, each of which is subject to a Final Development Permit (FDP). New sidewalks, bicycle paths, and streetscape improvements will also be constructed. Frontage Road will be reconfigured to allow continued access by shuttle operators. The MacArthur Station Project also includes creation of two new streets: 39th Street will provide an east/west connection between Telegraph Avenue and Frontage Road, and Turquoise Street will provide a north/south connection from 39th Street to the southern edge of the project. Parking for residential units will be provided within each individual building, and approximately 30 commercial parking spaces would be provided in Building A. The phased project includes five new blocks that would accommodate a total of up to 875 residential units (including 146 affordable units), 49,000 square feet of neighborhood-serving retail and commercial uses, 5,000 square feet of community space, and a 480-space parking garage for BART patrons. The approved PDP for the MacArthur Station Project includes the demolition of BART surface parking lots and all existing buildings on the project site to allow for the construction of a new mixed-use, transit village development project. The PUD/PDP and Development Agreement establish the approved land uses, density, bulk, massing, and design guidelines for the site.
The PUD/PDP approval authorized the development on the entire 8.2 acre site of up to 875 residential units, 49,000 square feet of commercial space, 5,000 square feet of community space, a parking structure for BART patrons, and various infrastructure improvements. The Macarthur Station Project Preliminary Development Plan (PDP) for the Planned Unit Development (PUD) was approved in July 2008, and revised in 2017.
