The beloved 83-year-old US Air Force veteran was randomly shoved onto subway tracks by an illegal migrant in Manhattan.
He died from his injuries, and his alleged killer has been charged with murder.

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office on Wednesday upgraded those charges against his alleged attacker. The attacker was an illegal migrant who was labeled as a serial criminal with a long rap sheet of at least 15 charges, as per the feds.
