Midtown Manhattan shooting suspect in custody
A suspect is in custody in a fatal shooting near Manhattan’s Penn Station. Police are still looking for Arcona’s alleged accomplice, 22-year-old Francisco Alsina.
A man hunted in connection with a shooting that left one dead and two others hurt in Penn Station Monday was taken into police custody Thursday morning, sources said.
The man, whose identity hasn’t been released, was tracked down in Cranston, Rhode Island, by the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force.
Witnesses inside the hospital say Vincent Arcona walked into the emergency room at Bronx Lebenon Hospital, and staff members quickly alerted the police. Arcona was featured on a wanted poster earlier this week and was described as armed and risky.
Investigators said they believed it happened after a verbal dispute inside a McDonald’s on Eighth Avenue near 35th Street that has been reported to be a hangout for patients from a nearby methadone clinic.
“Those three individuals who ended up begin shot were followed into the subway”, Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said following the shooting.
Mr. Quiniones was shot in the head and pronounced dead at the scene, officials said. The 45-year-old man was listed in critical condition later Monday. Quinones died in the station, while Lamboy and Torres were taken to Bellevue for their injuries.
The Post claims that a police source says Arcona allegedly “lured three men out of a McDonald’s Monday after telling them that they were not welcome on his crew’s drug dealing territory”.
