A man was killed in this year\u2019s first shooting in the New York City subway system, and the suspect remains in the wind after police<\/a> stormed a Bronx building hoping to find the shooter inside, cops said.<\/p>\n

The 41-year-old victim was struck inside the 170th St. station at E. 170th St. and Grand Concourse in Mt. Eden<\/a> at 2:56 p.m., according to law enforcement.<\/p>\n

The victim and the shooter were arguing when the gunman shot him multiple times on the Manhattan-bound D and B trains platform, said police.<\/p>\n

Medics rushed the victim to Lincoln Hospital<\/a> in critical condition, where he died, cops said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe dude pushed the victim and he was on the floor. He was not moving and he was gushing blood,\u201d said Robin Perez, who was on the platform with the gunman and the victim when the bullets flew. \u201cThe police surrounded (the victim) and were pumping his chest doing CPR. They picked him up and put him on a stretcher and carried him out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Video recorded outside a station exit shows the victim being brought out on a bodyboard, lying on his back, with his pant legs completely drenched in blood. A law enforcement source said it appeared the man was shot twice in the groin.<\/p>\n

Video recorded by straphangers<\/a> aboard a train passing through the station shows the killer push the victim, who collapses to the platform covered in blood.<\/p>\n

Anderson Moina Cruz, 17, also witnessed the violence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe dude just pushed the guy and started running. The guy on the floor was bleeding and there was no movement,\u201d he said. \u201c(The shooter) ran fast, like the Olympics. I wasn\u2019t going to be no hero.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cruz left the station where the shooting occurred only to find police blocking the entrance to his apartment building four blocks away on Townsend Ave and E. 172nd St.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I got home, people were saying, \u2018He ran in here, he ran in here,’\u201d he said, referring to the suspect.<\/p>\n

Officers at the scene confirmed the suspect was spotted fleeing into the Townsend Ave. building. Police set up a cordon around the location that stretched several blocks in all directions.<\/p>\n

Officers equipped with automatic weapons, body armor, ballistic shields, sledgehammers and police dogs were seen entering the building shortly before 6 p.m., but the suspect could not be found, according to law enforcement sources.<\/p>\n

Police say they are searching for a roughly 6-foot-tall man in his 40s wearing a gray parka and white, blood-stained pants.<\/p>\n

The victim has a criminal record that includes arrests on drug charges and transit-related crimes, sources said.<\/p>\n

Three people were shot in the city\u2019s subway system last year, all in separate incidents, NYPD crime stats show. It marked a dramatic drop from 2024, when 14 people were shot in the subway.<\/p>\n
