Nicholas Troxell, 41, of Philadelphia was killed on March 30, 2020 while sleeping on a SEPTA train. After Troxell slapped at them and chased them away, Banks returned with a firearm and shot Troxell in the forehead. Troxell was taken to Temple Hospital and died shortly afterward from his wounds.

Investigators reviewed surveillance footage that identified Banks as the shooter; he was arrested about two weeks later and admitted to the shooting during interrogation. The case record states he was charged with third-degree murder and illegal possession of a firearm. Troxell’s family remembers him as a loving grandfather, father, and brother.
