NYPD Chief of Department Kenneth Corey said the gunman was pacing back and forth on a subway train when he randomly brandished a gun and shot Enriquez in his chest at close range, leading to his death at a hospital, as CrimeOnline previously reported.
The suspect reportedly fled the scene as the subway stopped at the Canal Street station, according to reports. Corey commented that the officers had patrolled the Q train three separate times before Sunday’s shooting.
