Brooklyn Shooting Suspect Sought, $10K Reward Offered: NYPD

BROOKLYN, NY — Police are offering a $10,000 reward for anyone who can help find the shooter who killed a crossing guard on a Brooklyn subway train back in January, according to the NYPD.

The victim, Richard Henderson, 45, was shot in the back and shoulder when the Manhattan-bound No. 3 train arrived at the Franklin Avenue-Medgar Evers College station in Crown Heights on Jan. 14, according to the NYPD.

Police said Henderson was trying to act as a peacemaker in a dispute when a man on one side of the argument fired a gun and hit Henderson instead, fatally.

His killer, who was last seen exiting at the Utica Avenue train station, remains on the loose. Police released photos of the suspect, including a surveillance still of the man.

The NYPD is now offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.

Henderson was a "beloved" crossing guard at Chelsea's Avenues The World School, according to state Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal.

The Avenues community and Henderson's loved ones launched a GoFundMe to support his family, which has raised over $377,000 since last month.

"Richard Henderson was not only a guardian at the crosswalks of the school where he tirelessly worked; Rich was a guardian to all those lucky enough to know him," GoFundMe organizers wrote.
