An artist and gallery owner’s keen eye helped lead police to the suspected subway shooter in New York:

NYPD officers stand guard at the 36 Street subway station on April 13, 2022, after a gunman shot 10 people. New York portrait painter Lee Vasu helped spot the alleged subway shooter who opened fire on a crowded N train in Brooklyn on Tuesday morning, injuring 23 people,Vasu spent a long time studying the man’s face after a photograph was published on CNN’s website.

After the family finished lunch and started walking up First Avenue, a familiar face caught Vasu’s eye. They made a turn onto 9th Street. “I got them to safety and I ran back to the guy,” Vasu said in a telephone interview, still reeling from the experience.“I went up to him and took my phone out because I literally had his picture on my phone,” Vasu said. He also showed it to a cop, whose car was parked on the corner of First Avenue. “And he said, ‘Shoot, that is him!”Vasu said that being an artist helped him identify the suspect.
