The New York City Police Department commissioner tweeted that all testimony is needed. Keechant Sewell released two CCTV footage of the unidentified suspect, a burly man in a hoodie on a hot day.
The shooting happened on a Q line train crossing the Manhattan Bridge around 11:40 a.m., a time of day when subway cars are often packed with families, tourists and people on their way to Sunday brunch .
Witnesses told police the gunman paced the last car of the train and without provocation drew a gun and shot the victim at point-blank range.
The victim, a 48-year-old man, died of his injuries in hospital. He was later identified by police as Daniel Enriquez, of Brooklyn. He was just going to a brunch.
Mr. Enriquez had worked for the global investment research division of Goldman Sachs since 2013. The firm’s managing director, David Solomon, testified that Mr. Enriquez was a dedicated and loved employee and that the company was devastated. He “embodied our culture of collaboration and excellence,” Solomon said in a statement.
Mayor Eric Adams said Monday investigators had few leads and called the shooting “unimaginable.”
“You sit down, go to brunch, go visit a family member, someone walks up to you and shoots you for no reason,” Adams said. It’s the worst nightmare. »
The shooter fled after the train arrived at the Canal Street station in Manhattan. A single nine-millimeter casing was recovered from the scene, police said.
There were no police in the train car where the shooting occurred, the mayor said, and the city will assess how it deploys police to the extensive subway system.
The shooting came weeks after a man opened fire inside a Brooklyn subway train, scattering random gunfire that injured 10 people.
The suspect in that attack, Frank James, had posted dozens of videos online exposing racism, violence and his struggles with mental illness.
In January, a man with schizophrenia pushed a woman in front of a subway train, causing her death. He was later declared mentally unfit to stand trial.
Since taking office on 1is January, Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, has made cracking down on violent crime a top priority for his administration.
In New York City, attacks on the subway, a vital network that millions of citizens rely on, loom large in public perceptions of security.
