Man fatally shot on Brooklyn subway while trying to break up fight: Police

A man who was shot and killed aboard a New York City subway train may have been trying to stop a fight, police said.

A man who was fatally shot aboard a Brooklyn subway may have been attempting to be a peacemaker during a fight between two other men, the NYPD said.

Richard Henderson was shot on Sunday in the train car somewhere west of the Rockaway Avenue station, six stops away from where he was found by police who were responding to the incident. Henderson later died at the hospital, police said.

No arrests have been made and a suspect is still at large, police said.

Henderson appears to have been the peacemaker in a dispute between two other men over loud music when he was shot, police said.
