City Reels After Subway Slaying Of Park Slope's Daniel Enriquez

PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — The Park Slope man randomly shot to death on a subway train this weekend, spurring a frenzied search for his killer, will be remembered as a loving brother who was taken from his family without cause.

Daniel Enriquez, 48, died after a gunman shot him without provocation on a Q train crossing the Manhattan Bridge on Sunday, according to police.

Enriquez's sister Griselda Vile told multiple outlets that he was heading to brunch at the time of the shooting — a reportedly rare train trip for the Park Slope resident, who'd stopped taking the subway as often during the pandemic.

“It’s horrific," Vile said in an interview with The New York Times. "This is a horror movie.”

Patch left a voicemail for Vile on Monday and had not received a response as of Monday afternoon.

Vile described her brother as "a special, jovial guy" who looked out for his whole family, which included three younger siblings, the Times reported.

Enriquez's partner, Adam Pollack, 54, also remembered him fondly. "He was a nice, interesting person," he told The New York Post. "A lot of depth going on."

In the interview with The Post, Pollack in part blamed Uber's surge pricing for his partner's death, noting, like Vile, that Enriquez didn't take the subway often but was moved to do so after car prices started to rise.

Enriquez was born in Williamsburg to parents who immigrated from Mexico, according to the Times.

The Park Slope resident worked at Goldman Sachs for nine years, confirmed CEO David Solomon.

"He worked diligently to support our Macro Research team in New York and epitomized our culture of collaboration and excellence," Solomon said in a statement. "We are devastated by this senseless tragedy and our deepest sympathies are with Dan’s family at this difficult time."

Although fatal transit attacks in New York City are rare, the incident this weekend happened a month after a gunman opened fire in a Sunset Park station, shooting 10 people and injuring dozens more.

The mayor, who has made public safety a focal point of his administration, said that he would continue to boost police presence in the subways after Sunday's shooting — a promise he also made after last month's shooting.

"It's my responsibility to keep New Yorkers safe. I want that obligation," he tweeted Monday alongside a photo greeting commuters in a train car. The image was posted right after Adams attended a ceremony honoring firefighters who responded to the Sunset Park subway shooting.

Late Monday, the Post reported that police sought to question a Brooklyn man with 19 prior arrests in connection to Sunday's shooting. NYPD officials couldn't confirm the name to Patch — and the Post report stated it is unclear if the man is the same person seen in the surveillance footage.

Vile said she is reeling from her brother's loss and now fears for her own safety.

"I don’t feel comfortable having my daughter take the train and now I have more reason to feel more scared. Now everyone who knows my brother is gonna be more scared," Vile told The Post.

"There was no interaction with the murderer at all," Vile reportedly said. "How can an incredibly loving man be taken away for no reason?"
