Photos: Q Train Shooter Yet To Be Captured, Police Say
Police released photos Monday morning of a gunman they say shot a complete stranger on a Q train crossing the Manhattan Bridge.

NEW YORK CITY — A man who shot and killed a complete stranger on a Q train crossing the Manhattan Bridge has yet to be captured, NYPD officials said.
Police also released surveillance photos Monday morning of a man they said randomly shot Daniel Enriquez, 48, in the chest as the train approached Canal Street about 11:30 a.m. Sunday.
"We need all eyes on this," tweeted Keechant Sewell, the NYPD's commissioner.

"[Police] need your help identifying & locating this man who is wanted for homicide in the tragic, senseless shooting of a man on a 'Q' train."
The New York Post later Monday reported that police sought to question a Brooklyn man with 19 prior arrests. NYPD officials couldn't confirm the name to Patch — and the Post report stated it is unclear if the man is the same person seen in the surveillance footage.

Another Post report stated the shooter randomly handed the gun to a homeless man as he fled the Canal Street station. The homeless man held onto the gun for about eight hours before selling it for $10 and a bag of cocaine, the Post reported.
Enriquez lived in Park Slope, worked for Goldman Sachs and was on his way to brunch when shot, according to a New York Times report.
The Times reported Enriquez avoided had avoided the subway during most of the pandemic over health fears.
Enriquez had little time to respond when faced with a gunman he'd never met before, said Kenneth Corey, the NYPD's chief of department, at a Sunday news conference.
"The suspect was walking back and forth in the same train car," Corey said. "Without provocation, [he] pulled out a gun and fired it at the victim at close range as the train was crossing the Manhattan Bridge."
The shooing comes on the heels of a mass shooting April 12 in a Sunset Park subway that left 23 people injured.
People with information about the shooting are asked to call 800-877-TIPS or provide it online at CrimeStoppers.NYPDonline.org.
