The NYPD has upgraded Frank James from a “person of interest” to “suspect” in its latest move to track down the person responsible for the Brooklyn rush hour subway shooting on Tuesday morning.
“Frank James, 62, was initially named as a person of interest in the wake of Tuesday’s rush-hour attack on the N train in Sunset Park, New York Post reports.
“The upgrade to James’ status was ‘based on new information that has become available to the team,’ Mayor Eric Adams told WNYC radio.”
“We are going to continue to close the loop around him and bring him in, and continue the investigation into this horrific act against innocent New Yorkers,” Adams said on MSNBC.
The NYPD on Tuesday shared images of James on Twitter:
