 A day after the shooting in a stairwell leading to a subway
station at West 35th Street and 8th Avenue, police released a
photograph of Vincent Arcona, who they said was wanted for
questioning in the incident. Arcona was described as white with blue
eyes, 6 feet tall and weighing 300 pounds.
Police did not say why Arcona had been named as a person of
interest.
The incident began at about 6 a.m. ET (1100 GMT) on Monday in a
McDonald's restaurant near Penn Station, where a shooting suspect
spoke to the victims, who were drinking coffee together, police
said. When the victims left and headed into the subway station, the
suspect followed them, police said.
Investigators did not know what prompted the gunfire that killed one
man, identified only as aged 43, and seriously wounded the others,
aged 45 and 48.
No further details were immediately available, police said.
