    NYPD names Frank James as a person of interest in subway shooting

    The NYPD identified a man named Frank James, 62, as a “person of interest” in the shooting. James is believed to be the renter of the U-Haul vehicle found in Brooklyn and has addresses in both Wisconsin and Philadelphia, NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig said Tuesday.

    “Mr. James is just a person of interest we know right now who rented that U-Haul van in Philadelphia,” Essig said. “The key to that U-Haul van was found in the subway in our shooter’s possessions. We don’t know right now if Mr. James has any connection to the subway. That’s still under investigation.”

    The attack is NOT being investigated as an act of terrorism but authorities have not ruled anything out, the NYPD commissioner said. Investigators have cell phone video from an eyewitness that shows the suspect, sources say, and a U-Haul cargo van “connected with” the shooting has been located in Brooklyn along with a credit card that identified the suspect.

    A federal law enforcement source told Newsweek the suspect was the previously known to the FBI, having been entered into the Guardian Lead system in New Mexico.

    The system is the FBI’s way of coordinating information from other law enforcement partners about potential terrorism-related threats and suspicious activity reports. 

    He was cleared after multiple interviews in 2019.
