Man fatally shot aboard subway train in Brooklyn – police searching for suspect

A fatal shooting occurred on a moving subway train in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights on Sunday just before 8:30 p.m.

The victim Richard Henderson, a 45-year-old grandfather, sustained gunshot wounds in the back and shoulder while riding a Manhattan-bound No. 3 train approaching the Franklin Ave-Medgar Evers College Stop at Franklin Avenue.

The injured man was rushed to Kings County Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. The suspect fled the scene, and no description of the gunman has been released by the police.

The incident prompted reflections on the challenges of random violence, with calls for improved gun control. Professor Jeff Spinner-Halevim commented on the need for a significant political shift to address this issue. The southbound No. 3 train was temporarily halted at the Franklin Avenue station, and as of now, no arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing.
