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

Andrew Abdullah, 25, turned himself in at a Manhattan precinct to face charges in the death of 48-year-old Daniel Enriquez.

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 .

Enriquezs sister Griselda Vile implored the city Tuesday to tackle crime more effectively.

Im pleading that this not happen to another New Yorker, she told Fox News . I dont want my brother just to be a passing name in the media, a passing name in our normalcy post-pandemic.

Earlier Tuesday, the police department tweeted a photo of Abdullah, 25, and asked the public for help finding him.

UPDATE: Andrew Abdullah has been placed into custody. Thank you to everyone who shared this information and assisted in the search for this suspect. https://t.co/owcDbAR6vB

UPDATE: Andrew Abdullah has been placed into custody. Thank you to everyone who shared this information and assisted in the search for this suspect. https://t.co/owcDbAR6vB

Court records show Abdullah has two open criminal cases in New York City, one in Brooklyn stemming from an April 24 vehicle theft and the other for an alleged assault in Manhattan in 2020.

Messages seeking comment were left with lawyers representing him in those cases.

Police had earlier asked for the publics help in identifying the gunman, tweeting out surveillance photos of a burly man dressed in a hoodie on a hot day.

We need all eyes on this, NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell tweeted.

Police said witnesses reported that the gunman was pacing the last car of a Q line train heading from Brooklyn to Manhattan, pulled out a gun and fired at Enriquez at close range. The shooter fled after the train arrived at Manhattans Canal Street.
