BRONX, NY - Police have identified a man, they say, gunned down a commuter on a Bronx subway platform after an argument on a train. The NYPD released the suspect’s name and images in an attempt to elicit help from the public to capture the alleged killer.


Detectives are looking for 27-year-old Alberto Frias in connection with Tuesday’s homicide on the train platform at the 170th Street Subway Station.



The NYPD released three photos. One that looked like a mug shot and the others appear to be from surveillance cameras on the street near the subway station. Investigators would not elaborate on what led them to Frias.



Police have identified the victim as 41-year-old Adrian Dawodu of Harlem. There is no new information on the argument that led to the fatal fight, and no description beyond the released photos of the suspect.



The shooting occurred just before 3 p.m. on Tuesday, February 10, at the 170th Street Subway Station serving the B and D lines, within the confines of the NYPD’s 44th Precinct and Transit District 11 — marking another afternoon shooting at a Bronx subway station serving the B and D lines.



According to authorities and sources familiar with the investigation, the victim was shot once in the thigh and once in the groin. Emergency medical personnel rushed him to NYC Health and Hospitals/Lincoln Medical Center, where he was initially listed in critical condition. Despite lifesaving efforts, the man later succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased by hospital staff — a fatal Bronx subway platform shooting that began with a dispute on a train.



Investigators believe the deadly Bronx subway shooting following an argument on a train stemmed from a dispute between the victim and the gunman that began onboard a train and spilled onto the platform moments before shots were fired. What triggered the dispute remains under investigation.



Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
