"According to NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny, 27-year-old Alberto Frias got into an altercation with 41-year-old Adrian Dawodu inside of the 170 Street Station just before 3 p.m. on Feb. 10. Dawodu himself is known to frequent the station and is often seen by MTA staff yelling to himself and others. On that fatal day Dawodu is spotted on video surveillance entering the station while muttering to himself before sitting on a bench on the southbound platform."
"They square up. He shows him the pistol, and our guy doesn't care. He goes right for him. He starts throwing lefts, and our victim is winning the fight. He almost throws our guy onto the tracks, Chief Kenny said. The fight extends all the way down the platform, probably about 25 feet. They come together, and this is where our victim gets shot."
"A viral video circulating online shows the moment Dawodu was downed with a single gunshot to the groin area. As the gunman fled, the victim was left to bleed out profusely. EMS rushed him to Lincoln Hospital, where he could not be saved and was pronounced dead. Meanwhile, police say they tracked Frias to his apartment building on 172nd Street and Townsend Avenue, where he showed up covered in blood and made a desperate plea to his girlfriend to order him a cab so he could make an escape."
