NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig said: “We are endeavouring to locate him to determine his connection to the subway shooting, if any.
“The two crime scenes, the subway and the van, are very active and are still being processed.
“Mr. James is just a person of interest we know right now who rented that U-Haul van in Philadelphia.
“The keys 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.”
New York mayor, whose security was boosted as a result of James’ social media posts, later blamed gun violence in the US.
He said: “It’s going to take the entire nation to speak out and push back against the cult of death that has taken hold in this nation.
“A cult that allows innocence to be sacrificed on a daily basis.”
