Local Fox affiliate KTVU showed a picture of her the day after her death holding a cellphone case that looked like a gun. “As if she was a gang member,” said Nina Knox, who grew up with Nia’s mother. “As if it should be swept under the carpet, as if you know, other people that’s not in the urban areas see such a picture, and say, 'Oh, that was just an old black gangbanger from Oakland and we don’t want to send our support there.' ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics point out that choosing images like that reframe the story, making it seem like she was responsible for her own murder, painting an innocent victim as a villain because of the color of her skin, making it easier for people not to care. \u003ca href=\"http://www.ktvu.com/news/protest-at-ktvu-over-use-of-inappropriate-nia-wilson-photo\">KTVU has apologized for its editorial choice\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13837639/nia-wilson-and-the-war-on-black-women\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nia Wilson and the War on Black Women\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>A headline from \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/BART-killing-Divergent-paths-met-tragically-on-13113688.php\">a San Francisco Chronicle story\u003c/a> about Nia Wilson’s murder said: “Divergent paths met tragically on Oakland platform.” That framing of the narrative threatens to erase Nia's death as the focal point, critics say, and puts her killer on the same level as her, as part of a tragic story rather than the prime mover of that tragedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Nia’s name means purpose, Bishop Keith Clark said again, at the crescendo of his sermon. “That scoundrel of a human being, who snatched our sister’s life, what you meant for evil, God’s gonna work it for our good.

This in contrast to how a similar case played out: that of a young woman, Kathryn Steinle, also killed in a seemingly random attack in a public place in a violent and tragic way.

Systemwide implementation could take 12 months. Estimated cost is $4 million for implementation and $1.3 million in ongoing costs.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Replacement of existing analog security cameras in stations, parking lots and garages with an all-digital camera network.

Longer term fixes include accelerating work to bar fare evaders, increasing the visible presence of BART personnel late into the evening, and implementing more advanced surveillance cameras and monitoring system. If fully implemented, the proposals would cost at least $25 million over the next five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s what’s needed,” BART Board President Robert Raburn said Monday. “We need some options to consider in the near term. Is it complete? The board and the public will get a chance to discuss that\" at Thursday's regular meeting of district directors. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m very glad the general manager heard the board, that we wanted to come out with something in response to the horrible violence we’ve seen in the last two weeks,” Raburn said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has involved three homicides -- including a passenger's \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11682006/one-killed-one-wounded-in-oakland-bart-stabbing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fatal July 22 knife attack on Nia Wilson, 18,\u003c/a> at MacArthur Station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same station was also the scene of an incident Friday night in which a man BART police have identified as Solomon Espinosa, 27, of Oakland, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11684907/police-search-for-man-accused-of-stabbing-two-people-on-bart\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">allegedly slashed two men\u003c/a> with a knife or box cutter. Neither victim suffered life-threatening injuries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attack on Wilson, which also injured her sister, has prompted \u003ca href=\"http://www.ktvu.com/news/law-firm-representing-nia-wilson-s-family-plans-to-sue-bart\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the promise of a lawsuit\u003c/a> alleging that BART's failure to deny entry to fare evaders has made the system more vulnerable to crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement Monday, BART said that as of Monday it had instituted emergency staffing for its police force -- a step \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11424842/bart-cops-investigating-weekend-train-robbery-in-oakland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">it also took last year\u003c/a> after a series of high-profile robberies and assaults at Oakland's Coliseum Station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The emergency staffing order cancels off days for all of the BART Police Department's 180 or so officers and mandates six 10-hour shifts a week. To increase police visibility on the system, officers working on their normal days off have been ordered to ride trains for their full shifts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other steps that BART General Manager Grace Crunican will present to the board -- all excerpted here from BART's press release -- include:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Deploying BART employee teams and enhancing employee security training. Teams of BART employees would be trained to staff trains and stations while wearing high-visibility vests to provide an additional layer of visibility to BART’s safety efforts. Teams would be deployed temporarily at times of greatest need.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Accelerating station-hardening efforts to make it harder to bypass fare gates. These efforts include raising barriers to 5 feet and adding additional fencing to include elevators in paid areas. This proposal will be presented to the board in September.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Adding a second proof-of-payment team for evenings. The new eight-member team would also increase the non-sworn police presence in the system.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Installing emergency call boxes on platforms. Three emergency call boxes would be installed on each platform with a direct connection to BART police dispatchers. High-priority stations would get the call boxes as early as this fall. A systemwide implementation could take two years and cost an estimated $5.2 million.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Systemwide deployment of a \"physical security information management system\" capable of monitoring thousands of simultaneous video streams and automating response recommendations to BART police. Systemwide implementation could take 12 months. Estimated cost is $4 million for implementation and $1.3 million in ongoing costs.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Replacement of existing analog security cameras in stations, parking lots and garages with an all-digital camera network. BART says the project would cost about $15 million and take roughly 4½ years to complete.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Installing video screens showing real-time station images and enhanced video surveillance signage. The idea would be tested at San Francisco’s Civic Center Station, where video screens would be placed at station entrances to remind riders the area is under surveillance.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Adoption of a no-panhandling ordinance within paid areas of BART subject to board adoption.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Ramping up \"ride safe\" public outreach campaign to distribute safety tips at stations, on trains and via social media.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Beyond those proposals, BART said Monday its Police Department has contracted with the University of North Texas to develop a strategic patrol staffing plan -- including recommendations or appropriate staffing levels for the BART system.
