Police had been offering a $13,500 reward for information relating to the suspect's"attempted murder of an NYC police officer," according to the reward posterThe alleged teenage gunman who police said shot a tourist in the leg and fired at an NYPD officer after a botched shoplifting at a Times Square sporting goods store has been charged as an adult with attempted murder.
Police said the alleged shooter is from Venezuela and arrived in New York City less than six months ago. He has been living in a shelter on the Upper West Side. Detectives are investigating whether he is the same teen wanted in two other crimes, including a Bronx armed robbery on Jan. 27 and in a shots-fired case near a Midtown park.Detectives believe the suspect had a potential family connection in Yonkers, but an investigation is ongoing.
A loss prevention officer went up to the pair and asked for a receipt, then took the bag from them when they didn't have one. As the guard was talking with them, one of the two, wearing all white, pulled out a .45-caliber handgun and fired, according to police. Midway down that block, the second suspect went into a cutout between two buildings, including the Fox Corporation headquarters, then turned and fired one shot at the officer giving chase. As he continued to run, he fired again at the officer from under his arm. The officer did not return fire either time.
The suspect ran into the Rockefeller Center subway at 46th Street and Sixth Avenue and went onto the tracks. He later left the station, but police did not know where he went after that.
