An assailant in the fatal shooting of a passenger on an Amtrak train in Missouri remained on the run Sunday as investigators worked to determine why the train traveled for miles before any passengers or crew members reported it, authorities said.
The victim found dead aboard the Amtrak's River Runner route was identified as 30-year-old Richie T. Aaron Jr. of Independence, Missouri, according to the Lee's Summit, Missouri, Police Department.
Police believe the killer exited the train undetected while it was stopped in Lee's Summit, authorities said in a statement released Saturday.
The train with 81 passengers aboard left the depot at Lee's Summit and continued about 20 miles to its next stop in Independence, where police were called around 9:15 p.m. on Friday, authorities said.
