The family of Times Square subway-shove victim Michelle Go broke their silence Monday, saying they are “in a state of shock” after she was randomly pushed in front of a train and killed.
“We are in a state of shock and grieving the loss of our daughter, sister, and friend,” the family said in a tweet shared by ABC-News.
Michelle Go was shoved to her death by a deranged homeless man at the Times Square subway station. LinkedIn“We hope Michelle will be remembered for how she lived and not just how she died,” her kin said. “She was a beautiful, brilliant, kind and intelligent woman, who loved her family and friends, loved to travel the world and to help others.
“Her life was taken too soon in a senseless act of violence, and we pray that she gets the justice she deserves,” it said. “Thank you for your condolences.”
Go, 40, was waiting for an R train at the Times Square station around 9:40 a.m. Saturday when police said Martial Simon, a deranged homeless ex-con, came up behind her and shoved her into the path of the train, killing her.
Michelle’s Go’s distraught family spoke on the shocking attack. CeFaan Kim/TwitterSimon, whose family said suffers from schizophrenia, turned himself in to cops on Canal Street minutes later and is now facing murder charges.
A local Asian group, Asians Fighting Injustice, has scheduled a candlelight vigil for Go in Times Square at 6 p.m. on Tuesday.
