EARLIER STORY:
A punch to the face Sunday in New York City resulted in the death of a Boca Raton man.
New York City police are looking for a man that they say punched and killed 35-year-old Sandor Szabo.
The New York Daily News reports that Szabo was looking for an Uber driver in Queens, New York. When Szabo knocked on a random window, the driver of the car got out and punched Szabo in the face.
Police say Szabo hit his head on the pavement and was taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition.
“It is all very shocking, me personally I keep saying, 'I still can’t believe it,'" said Josh Gillon.
Gillon is the CEO of What If Media Group where Szabo worked for two years.
“He is a super outgoing, friendly, incredibly smart guy,” said Gillon.
Gillon said they are a New Jersey-based company and Szabo was there last week for a conference and was going to his step-sister’s wedding.
Szabo’s brother told the Daily News earlier this week that Szabo probably would not survive his injuries.
New York City police confirmed that Szabo later died.
NYPD is looking for the man who hit Szabo and released pictures and video of the attacker, who was spotted driving a white sport-utility vehicle.
