Police identify man wanted for questioning in subway shooting of Daniel Enriquez

Police are looking to question a Brooklyn man with a lengthy rap sheet in connection to the unprovoked, broad-daylight shooting death of a subway rider on the Manhattan Bridge, law enforcement sources told The Post Monday — as cops released surveillance images of the suspect in the deadly incident.

The sources said they were looking to talk to Andrew Abdullah, who has 19 prior arrests, in connection to the cold-blooded killing of a man headed to brunch in Manhattan on the Q train around 11:40 a.m. Sunday.

He was still on the loose Monday afternoon.

Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell earlier tweeted video of the suspect — wearing a dark jacket, white mask and light-colored pants — in the slaying of 48-year-old Daniel Enriquez.

“We need all eyes on this,” Sewell wrote. “@NYPDDetectives need your help identifying & locating this man who is wanted for homicide in the tragic, senseless shooting of a man on a ‘Q’ train that was approaching the Canal/Centre St. station on Sunday.”

Andrew Abdullah was wanted for questioning in the attack on the Q train.

Abdullah’s previous busts include raps for criminal possession of a weapon, assault, robbery, menacing and grand larceny, the sources said.

It is not clear if Abdullah is the individual who appears in the images.

Enriquez was shot by a complete stranger in the last car of the northbound train around 11:42 a.m., authorities said.

“According to witnesses, the suspect was walking back and forth in the same train car and, without provocation, pulled out a gun and fired at the victim at close range as the trains [were] crossing the Manhattan Bridge,” NYPD Chief of Department Kenneth Corey said at a briefing.

Once the train crossed the bridge and pulled into the Canal Street station, a witness to the shooting pulled the emergency brake.

Train operator Luis Irizarry tried to revive Enriquez, to no avail.

Enriquez was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said.

Enriquez, who lived in Park Slope and had worked for Goldman Sachs for nine years as an investment researcher, was on his way to brunch when he was killed, his sister, Griselda Vile, said Sunday.

“And the worst part is, even if they catch this person, he’s going to be out again,” she added, touching on the state’s bail reform laws that have let so many criminals back out on the street.

“I wish you guys would go back to Mayor [Eric] Adams and tell him the city is not safe,” she added. “My brother just became a statistic on the way to the city. He was shot at close range.”
