MANHATTAN (WABC) — Darryl Rodriguez, the 26-year-old man fatally shot in a Midtown subway station over the weekend, is being remembered by family and neighbors as police continue searching for the gunman.<\/p>\n

Police said Rodriguez was shot in the chest during an argument on the uptown E train platform at the Seventh Avenue-53rd Street station around 12:20 p.m. Saturday. Investigators have described the shooting as a targeted attack and are searching for a suspect who was seen wearing red clothing, a black vest and a face mask<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Authorities have not disclosed what sparked the confrontation.<\/p>\n

As the investigation continues, neighbors are reflecting on Rodriguez’s life. They said he was a twin and worked as a security guard. His brother serves in the Marines and is stationed in Texas.<\/p>\n

The shooting<\/a> unfolded in front of subway riders, some of whom described the panic that followed the gunfire.<\/p>\n

“She was doing compressions even before the police came there…people circled around,” one witness said, describing a woman who performed CPR on the victim before emergency crews arrived.<\/p>\n

Another witness recalled, “we all huddled together and the guy shot again…people started running out and we went up the stairs.”<\/p>\n

Rodriguez’s father was too distraught to speak publicly about his son’s death.<\/p>\n

Police have not announced any arrests, and the search for the suspect remains ongoing.<\/p>\n
