New York City Police officers are searching for a gunman after a subway passenger was shot and killed in what investigators describe as an unprovoked attack.
The suspect was pacing back and forth in the last car of a Manhattan-bound Q train as it crossed over the Manhattan Bridge around 11:45 a.m. Sunday when he pulled out a gun and"without provocation" fired it at a 48-year-old passenger at close range, striking him in the chest, witnesses told investigators, NYPD Chief of Department Kenneth Corey announced at a press conference.
Emergency responders attended to the victim at the scene, Corey said. He was transported to Bellevue Hospital, where he later died. The NYPD identified the victim as Daniel Enriquez.Preliminary information suggests there was no prior contact between the victim and suspect, Corey said. Enriquez's sister, Griselda Vile, told ABC News he started playing guitar and piano during the COVID-19 pandemic, was learning Brazilian Portuguese and had completed the family's genealogy for the past 400 years.
