CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn (PIX11) --- Police released a photo Thursday of the suspect sought in the fatal shooting of a man on a Brooklyn subway over the weekend.
Richard Henderson, 45, was shot in the back and shoulder on a Manhattan-bound No. 3 train inside the Franklin Avenue–Medgar Evers College station in Crown Heights around 8 p.m. Sunday, according to the NYPD. Henderson was pronounced dead at a hospital, authorities said.
Authorities said two people were fighting over loud noise on the train when one of them pulled a gun and began firing, inadvertently hitting Henderson. The victim was on his way to watch a football game with friends and family when he was killed, according to his family.
For 10 years, Henderson worked as a crossing guard at Avenues World School in Chelsea. On Tuesday, a mosaic of memories was scrawled on the sidewalk outside the front entrance.
“If you’re a giving person, a heart touches a heart. And that’s how my brother was,” his brother, Earl Ford, said.
A GoFundMe page for the victim has raised more than $280,000 in donations.
The suspect was last seen running out of the Utica Avenue train station, and remained at large as of Thursday police said.
