“Obviously, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the victim’s family,” New York City Transit President Richard Davey.

A man died after being shot on a New York City subway train on Sunday, just one month after 10 people were shot and even more injured on an MTA train.

In a press conference, NYPD Chief of Department Kenneth Corey said at approximately 11:50 a.m. ET, police were called to the Canal Street train station, responding to reports of a person who had been shot.

There, officers found a 48-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the torso, Corey said. The man was transported to Bellevue Hospital, where he later died, he added.

The victim was not immediately identified by officials.

The man had been seated in the last car of a Manhattan-bound Q train when the shooting happened, according to Corey. A suspect had been pacing the car, and pulled out a gun and shot the victim with, what appeared to be, no provocation, witnesses told officials.

Police are reviewing security footage and Corey said the victim is described as "a dark skinned male who was heavyset with a beard. He was last seen wearing a dark colored hooded sweatshirt, gray sweatpants and white sneakers."
