We are devastated by this tragedy.

— Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon

David Solomon, the CEO of Goldman, offered his sympathies in a statement about the death of a Goldman employee in a shooting on the New York City subway.

The New York Police Department confirmed that Daniel Enriquez, 48, from Brooklyn, was shot in the chest as he was riding the Q train across the Manhattan Bridge into Lower Manhattan. There was no interaction between the victim and the shooter before the shooting.

According to witnesses, the suspect was walking back and forth in the same train car and, without provocation, pulled out a gun and fired it at the victim at close range as the train was crossing the Manhattan Bridge.

After the train stopped at Canal Street, police officers and emergency medical technicians tried to revive him, but he died at the hospital. No one else was hurt.

Solomon said the investment banking firm was devastated to hear of the fatal shooting of one of its employees.

Solomon said in a statement that Daniel was a beloved member of Goldman's family for nine years. Our deepest sympathies are with Dan's family at this difficult time.

The dark-skinned male who police said was heavyset with a beard fled the train after it pulled into Canal Street. He is still on the run. He was wearing a dark-colored hooded sweatshirt, gray sweatpants and white sneakers at the time of the shooting.

Police are looking at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's cameras, and they have asked any passengers who took photos or video on the train to give them to the authorities. Anyone with information about the shooting is being directed to contact the New York City Police Department on social media, or to call the Crime Stoppers hotline. Cash rewards are offered for anonymous information.

In just six weeks, there have been at least 10 people shot and at least 13 injured on the NYC subway, but no one has been killed. The subway attack was the worst in decades. Frank R. James was later arrested on federal terrorism charges.

In January, a woman was killed in an unprovoked attack when she was pushed in front of a train. The suspect, Martial Simon, was homeless and mentally ill.

The police department is pushing more officers into the subway system.

Everyone deserves to feel safe on our subways, and that's why Kathy Hochul's office is working with the MTA and the NYPD.

According to the New York Times, Vile said that her brother lived in Park Slope and was heading into Manhattan for a meal. He avoided the train because he was worried about his health.

She said that it is a horror movie.
