Thomas was shot aboard the #105 bus he was driving on May 20 at 9:09 a.m. at Santa Monica Boulevard at West Knoll Drive (near the Koo Koo Roo). His alleged shooter was the sole passenger on the bus at the time.

Anthony Craig Chambers, 41, of Los Angeles was arrested at the scene and booked on suspicion of murder at the sheriff's West Hollywood station. He is being held at the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Twin Towers facility in lieu of $1 million bail.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa began Thursday’s Metropolitan Transit Authority meeting with a moment of silence for Thomas, calling the shooting a senseless crime.

“I’d like to extend my sincere thoughts and prayers to his family and the MTA employees during this very difficult time,” Villaraigosa said. “Mr. Thomas will be sorely missed and he touched the lives of many.”
