Suspect under arrest in deadly subway shooting

-

NEW YORK » A man wanted in an apparently unprovoked fatal shooting aboard a New York City subway train was under arrest Tuesday, hours after authoritie­s posted his name and photo on social media and implored the public to help find him.

Andrew Abdullah, 25, was expected to face charges in the death of 48-year-old Daniel Enriquez. The Legal Aid Society, which is representi­ng him, said it was just beginning to review evidence and urged the public not to make assumption­s about the case.

“Mr. Abdullah deserves vigorous representa­tion from his defense counsel, and that is what The Legal Aid Society will provide,” the organizati­on said in a statement.

Enriquez was shot to death while heading to brunch Sunday morning, about six weeks after 10 people were shot in an attack on another subway train. Enriquez’s sister Griselda Vile implored the city Tuesday to tackle crime more effectivel­y.
