A suspect remains at large after a man was stabbed to death on a Metro train in South Los Angeles Tuesday.

The victim was identified as Jalil Sosa Illera, 27, by the Los Angeles Police Department.

Police responded to an assault with a deadly weapon on the 2400 block of South Flower Street at around 3:44 p.m. 

Police say Illera boarded the Metro E Line train from the LATTC/Ortho Institute Station in Historic South Central and became involved in an altercation with the suspect while on board.

During the confrontation, Illera was stabbed multiple times by the unidentified suspect, police said.

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, authorities said.

The suspect fled the scene before authorities could arrive.
