An unsettling incident in Miami, Florida, has resulted in a man facing serious charges after allegedly shoving a woman off a train platform, leading to her death. The act appears to have been completely unprovoked.

Jorge Gomez, aged 45, has been formally charged with second-degree murder, according to records from Miami-Dade County jail. Although his arrest took place on Thursday, the tragic event reportedly happened several days earlier.

On Nov. 14, at about 12:30 p.m., Gomez was at the Dadeland North Metrorail Station. So was 32-year-old Kanisa Love. At some point, Gomez walked up to Love, who was backing away from him, and unprovoked, he shoved her to the ground, according to an arrest report reviewed by local outlet WPLG.

During Gomez’s court appearance on Friday, a prosecutor stated, “He pushed the victim off the Metrorail platform resulting in her death,” as reported by WTVJ, an NBC affiliate based in Miami.

Judge Mindy Glazer remarked, “He killed a 32-year-old lady standing on a Metrorail station, pushed her off,” adding, “You see it all,” when referring to the evidence presented.

Footage from the scene reveals that the Metrorail platform is significantly elevated, standing many feet above the ground.

Though it was just after noon when the woman fell, authorities reportedly only responded to the site of the crime the next morning. They determined Love was killed due to blunt force trauma to her head.

During Gomez’s Friday court appearance, he was ordered to be held without bond.

The defendant reportedly has an arrest record dating back to 2014.
