At 36th Street subway staton Sunset Park, morning after shooting, and trains are running again. Construction workers, carpenters, and Fed Ex worker, Michael Torres tells me, “you can’t let one person alter your life, gotta keep on, keep on going,” as he gets on an R train.

This is a huge long shot, but the person who filmed this deliverista last night received $1,700+ from media outlets who wanted to license the footage. They want to give all of it to the worker, but need finding him. Any tips? This was ~10:10pm near Roebling/11th st in BK. ⬇️
