Who Is Frank James?

Lt. Thomas Antonetti of the New York Police Department told CNN on Wednesday that a manhunt is underway for Frank James, 62, a suspect in the mass shooting in Brooklyn a day earlier that left ten individuals with gunshot wounds and 19 others injured.

None of the injured are believed to be in life-threatening condition, according to police.

According to the NYPD, James hired a U-Haul van, whose keys were discovered at the crime site. James has been linked to a YouTube channel with rambling videos.

The van’s key was found with a credit card that rented the vehicle out of Philadelphia. The gunman ran for hours until the police uncovered one of the most important clues, the van.

A screenshot from one of the films was used on an NYPD Crimestoppers brochure requesting information about the shooting, and he shows a City of New York ID card from a previous educational training program in another video.
