On Saturday afternoon, a man was shot and killed in a busy NYC subway station at 7th Avenue and 53rd Street, according to police. The incident occurred during an argument that escalated into a fatal shooting.
Details of the Shooting
First responders provided CPR to the wounded man, but he was pronounced dead upon arrival at Bellevue Hospital. The victim and the gunman had engaged in some type of dispute on the northbound platform, though the details are not yet clear, according to The New York Post.
It appears that the shooting may have been targeted. An NYPD spokesperson told The Post at the scene, “Nothing random between these two individuals.” An E train had pulled up to the platform and opened its doors just moments before the shooting occurred. One witness told The Post he heard two “pops” roughly eight seconds apart, sending straphangers into a frenzy.
“Everybody was running,” said Mauricio Marroquin, who was on his way home to Queens after working a morning shift as a breakfast attendant. “I seen a gentleman laying right in front,” Marroquin said of the victim. “He was dressed in a blazer, looked like he was coming from work or something, bro. Going to work or coming from work. It was two shots, man. He only got hit with one, like, that’s weird. And they were eight seconds apart, man. That’s weird.”
The suspect fled on foot northbound on 7th Avenue. No arrests have been announced and the investigation is ongoing.
