the train jumped to his aid before oliver tyrone williams was fatally stabbed. >> my heart is truly broken over this. it breaks my heart that this goes on bart trains and there is no police patrolling these things. >> reporter: bart confirms that the fight between williams and suspect gejermaine brim was fir reported to them as the train left the station tuesday afternoon, and that officers responded one stop later at south hayward. williams intervened when the shoeless brim allegedly tried to steal the shoes from another sleeping passenger. williams was killed with his own knife. did you know he would have carried something as self-protection perhaps? >> protection. the world is crazy. that's why he carried it. that's why he had a knife, for protection. >> reporter: brim made his first court appearance, covering his face and hiding behind a wall. he is charged with five felonies, including first-degree murder, carjack and theft.

williams' family was seated in the courtroom to represent the brother they lost so suddenly. >> he was the one that kept our family together, and he's always told me to always tell people that you love them before you hang up the phone. because you never know when you're not going to see them again. >> reporter: now brim is expected back in court here on december 5th. yesterday we learned that he had walked away from a san leandro hospital just hours before the stabbing. today we learned through court documents that he was actually released on his own recognizance in a felony case out of san francisco when this incident occurred. live in dublin, laura anthony, abc7 news. >> laura, you mentioned that case. do we know specifically the charges that brim is facing in san francisco? >> well, we learned late today, larry, through sources in san francisco that he was facing two felony charges and two misdemeanor charges related to the negligent discharge of a

firearm some time in san francisco, an incident that occurred over this past summer. >> all right. laura anthony reporting live in dublin, thank you. the stabbing death was top of mind for passengers and staff at this morning's bart board meeting. the meeting started with a moment of silence for oliver tyrone williams. and then it was time for public comment. news station agent suzanne gambel told about watching nearly 30 people an hour jump the fare gates, and about a scary experience she recently had at the south hayward station. >> i called the police on a man who was chasing a woman on to the train in south hayward. he hurdled the gates to get at her. >> the bart board has selected new fare gates, but right now is looking for funding. building a safer bart is part of building a better bay area. after tuesday's stabbing, bart announced it would add more police as well as community service officers and fare inspectors on platforms and trains. abc7 news reporter kris reyes

rode bart all day to look for the extra police presence. >> i'm going to be riding the daly city train. i'm going to be riding the pittsburg-bay point train and the warm springs south fremont train. and i'm going to tell you what i see. we're also going to be talking to riders, seeing if they're seeing more security, and if they feel safe on the train. are you seeing more security on the train this week? >> no. i can't say that i have. >> no, i haven't. >> reporte >> not really? >> no. >> not this week. >> there is no security. there is no bart police. >> she actually spotted security upstairs, and she has a message for them. >> come downstairs. if you're all huddled up there, we don't get the help we need. why don't you disperse and come see where all the action is? >> it would be important for bart to have more police, even though having police on the train isn't necessarily going to mean that you're going to be safe. but maybe that presence would help. >> are you worried because of happen had here at hayward

station this week, the murder that took place? >> yeah, because it's been happening more and more often. >> i carry pepper spray. i carry a screwdriver that is this long. i have a stun gun on me because i take bart every day, and especially when i come on bart at night, i'm always watching. i watch everything, even not for myself, but for other people as well. >> i just got off the phone with bart officials. we're waiting to see if we can get an on-camera interview. they did tell me there is not only increased security personnel on their system, there are more police officers. we spotted our first bart police right there. i will tell you this. every rider that we've spoken to, they have not seen any increased security. >> and so why did kris not see many police officers? bart provided this explanation. all patrol officers are required to ride trains during each shift. we also have a team of officers

who are dedicated to riding trains during the peak of commute. there are as many as 58 trains in service. most shifts are staffed with about 30 officers. so we do not have enough officers to be on every train. we rely on our bart customers to be our eyes and ears to reported illegal activity. our officers will respond. >> so what do you want to see on bart? better transit? part of building a better bay area? share ideas by joining our building a better bay area group on facebook. an international incident. the abc7 news i team has learned trial for two bay area teenagers achilling an italian police officer will begin next year. the lawyer informed dan noise that the trial has been fast tracked for february 26th. elder gabriel accused of stabbing an officer.

and reactions, i realized i didn't have a lot of answers for something that was so important and affecting so many families in the bay area. >> the obvious place to come to get the big picture was hamilton families. last year the nonprofit helped 700 families. according to their records, when they leave hamilton, 87% of families are stabilized after one year of being placed in permanent housing. so she got the information she needed for her daughter, and today she and her husband paid it forward, donating $500,000. google.org also gave another $850,000. >> for a total of $1.35 million to boost the work of hamilton families.

development. but really, the bulk of development will be focused in these key locations. >> people who live and work in irvington say there is a need for housing, but the kind of housing going up tends to be multihousing units. and they bemoan that it's changing the character of the community. they work at tangles salon in the heart of irvington. >> you're losing the feeling of your neighborhood and being able to talk to each other. and everything is just so fast-paced. >> a family store and restaurants and all those things have been demolished, and they're building all the high density housing where there is no sense of community. >> yes, urbanization is happening across fremont, but residents of the irvington, niles, and center districts will be watching closely. in fremont, david louie, abc7 news. the east bay used to be home to a large number of blue collar jobs, but over the years, the rise of tech, most of those jobs have gone away. still, it turns out new manufacturing jobs are available.
