Terry Zilimbinaks was a 17-year-old white male who was shot in the head on a late-night New York City subway in April 1980. Witnesses later described two teenagers in the car behaving disruptively and menacingly, allegedly harassing riders and attempting to grope a woman. When Zilimbinaks watched the pair, the men allegedly turned on him with taunts and threats; a handgun was produced and he was killed as the train moved through Brooklyn close to midnight.

Years passed before investigators named a suspect, identified as Austin Weekes, who was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. A Brooklyn grand jury declined to indict on that charge, so the case did not proceed to a criminal trial and there was no conviction.

Does anyone remember that subway car, the confrontation, or have information that could shed light on what happened that night?
