The victim was taken to Kings County Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The suspect fled the scene. Police did not release a description of the gunman.
"Everywhere you go some random terrible thing. We just have to learn to live with it, Would be nice if we had better gun control but that's going to take big shift in politics and that's not about to happen," said Professor Jeff Spinner-Halevim.
The southbound No. 3 train was temporarily held Sunday night at the Franklin Avenue station.
No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.
