2:02Now PlayingThe community gathered Sunday for a candlelight vigil honoring 66-year-old Margaret Sams-Swan, who was fatally stabbed at the Oakland City MARTA station.
Attendees called for increased safety on MARTA trains, buses and at stations. "She had a heart of gold," said her daughter Shanae Sams, who is calling for officers to be assigned to every train car.
MARTA says it is adding up to 150 officers, including transit officers from Denver, ahead of FIFA World Cup matches beginning June 15 in Atlanta.
