One person was killed and five others were wounded in a shooting on a New York City subway platform, according to police.
The shooting occurred around 4:30 p.m. Monday at the Mount Eden Avenue station in the Bronx, the New York City Police Department said.
No one has been apprehended yet in connection with the shooting and no weapons have been recovered. Authorities said they are looking for at least one suspect.
Police think the shooting stemmed from a dispute between two groups of teenagers who started fighting while riding the train, according to NYPD Transit Chief Michael Kemper. The shooting started when the train’s doors opened, Kemper said. At least one shot was fired in a subway car, and more were fired as passengers fled the train.
A man in his 30s was pronounced dead at a local hospital. The five others injured in the shooting—who range in age from 14- to 71-years old—are in stable condition, police said. Some of the victims were bystanders and some were part of the two teen groups, police said.
“To the shooter. You are now NYPD’s most wanted. And you have the greatest detectives in the world looking for you. We suggest you turn yourself in,” said Tarik Sheppard, the NYPD’s deputy commissioner of public information.
There have been several high-profile instances of violent crime on New York City subways in recent years, including a mass shooting on a subway car and platform in April 2022 that injured 10 people.
The NYPD said this month that the city’s transit system saw 222 index crimes in January 2024, compared with 152 in the same period last year. Index crimes are serious offenses that include murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault. The department said the transit network accounts for about 2% of all major crime committed in the city.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said in September 2022 that the state planned to install two cameras in each of the city’s subway cars by 2025.
