Story summary

On October 17, 2026, Darell Rodriguez, a 26-year-old security guard from the Bronx, was fatally shot at the 53rd Street/7th Avenue subway station in Midtown Manhattan. The shooting occurred around 12:20 p.m. when an unidentified stranger approached Rodriguez on the northbound E train platform and shot him once in the chest before fleeing northbound on 7th Avenue. Witnesses described hearing several gunshots while others administered CPR until emergency responders arrived; Rodriguez was pronounced dead at Bellevue Hospital shortly after 1:00 p.m.

The NYPD released surveillance images of the suspect, who is seen wearing a red tracksuit, black vest and face mask, along with carrying a backpack.

Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward to help catch the perpetrator.
