Latest subway violence: Disturbing video of teen getting shot dead goes viral

In 2022, there have been eight subway homicides, and this one is the ninth. A fight broke out between two gangs of teenagers. Only one bullet was fired, but both Burnett and accused shooter Keyondre Russell were wounded.

Disturbing Video Gives Clarity On The Incident

The video starts with a boy, probably Burnett going near a girl and saying something. Then the girl asked what happened when another girl came into the scene. Sources revealed that Russel was wearing a face mask and standing behind the girl in the red tracksuit.


A fight breaks out in the corner of the almost empty car when another group of teens jumps into the scene. The girl starts pelting another rider, and a group of teens bawls. One boy raised his arm, and a gunshot was heard. After being shot in the chest, Burnett fell face down.

As the one shooting this video moved away from the scene, the video became blurry and shaky. A good Samaritan lifted Burnett's face, who was probably dead by then.

Prosecutor said it to be gang-related, and Russel was arrested for multiple identification procedures. It's unsure if the teens knew each other.
