The suspect did not give up after committing the crime, and went to a bank on Kennedy Road, the main road of Chinatown, to rob it again. A Chinese customer was using cash over the counter to pay for his credit card when he turned to see the other person turning his gun on him and the suspect said to him, "Money, more money."

Police said the shooting in Union Square occurred around 5 p.m., on a northbound N-line train, the suspect approached a 42-year-old victim and asked him to hand over his mobile phone and other belongings.
