Michelle Alyssa Go (December 29, 1981 – January 15, 2022) was a 40-year-old Chinese-American woman who was pushed into the path of an oncoming New York City Subway train at the Times Square–42nd Street station, resulting in her death.

[9] On January 15, 2022, Go left her apartment on the Upper West Side of New York City and was waiting for an R train at Times Square-42nd Street station.

[13] Simon, a former taxi driver originally from Haiti,[14] had been previously convicted of attempted robbery in 1999 and 2019 and had a warrant out for violating his parole.

[14] Attorney H. Mitchell Schuman of New York County Defender Services said that, instead of understanding the complex issue of a city “[w]ith so many unhoused people with unaddressed mental illness walking the streets of our city, it would be a shame if Mr. Simon was sacrificed at the altar of vengeful public opinion instead of seeking a deeper understanding of these complex issues now facing our society.

The case inflamed concerns over the homelessness and mental illness crises and elevated fears of soaring rates of violent hate crime, with residents calling for better security and social policies.

[5][21][22][23] Following Go's death, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) announced in February 2022 that it would install platform screen doors at three stations as part of a pilot program.

[24] In May 2024, four U.S. representatives introduced the Michelle Go Act, which would allow Medicaid funds to be used to pay for stays at a wider range of psychiatric facilities.
