The station at South Bay isn't even open and it has had it first fatality. Is this a lcation where people cross the tracks to get to the mall or a homelss person living in the station under construction.

The station is on a highly elevated embankment. People wouldn't ever walk across the tracks to get to the South Bay Shopping Center.
