He shows him the pistol, and our guy doesn\u2019t care. He goes right for him. He starts throwing lefts, and our victim is winning the fight. He almost throws our guy onto the tracks,\u201d NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amny.com\/news\/gunman-fatally-shot-man-bronx-subway-platform-fled-apartment-blood\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said previously<\/a>. \u201cThe fight extends all the way down the platform, probably about 25 feet.

EMS rushed Dawodu\u00a0to Lincoln Hospital, where he could not be saved and was pronounced dead.\n<\/p>\n<p>Police sources report that Dawodu was known to frequent the station where he was killed and was often spotted muttering to himself.\n<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, police said they were able to track Frias to his apartment building on 172nd Street and Townsend Avenue, where he showed up covered in blood and made a desperate plea to his girlfriend to order him a cab so he could make an escape.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have him on video running back to the apartment. He\u2019s very frantic. He meets up with his girlfriend and another family member, asking them to get him an Uber. They order him a Lyft. But, actually, while he changes his clothing, he drops the shell case he must have had in his clothing. He leaves the shell casing at the scene, inside of his apartment, in his bedroom,\u201d Chief Kenny said at a Feb. 13 briefing.<\/p>\n<p>Police searched the building, leaving some residents unable to access their homes for several hours.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was going home and I saw a guy get pushed. I saw blood but I didn\u2019t see any shots. The cops came and surrounded the victim,\u201d Anderson Cruz said on Feb. 10. \u201cI tried to go home and apparently, he ran into the building I live at. I can\u2019t go home right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After giving up, detectives questioned him throughout the day before he was ultimately marched out of the stationhouse in cuffs on Thursday afternoon, destined for Bronx Criminal Court for arraignment.<\/p>\n<p>amNewYork peppered him with questions about the incident, but Frias did not answer. He stands charged with murder, manslaughter, and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to police sources, 27-year-old Alberto Frias walked into the 44th Precinct stationhouse on East 169th Street in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":139161,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[38980,101,128,259,9,24,63,103,104,1096,129,131,130],"class_list":{"0":"post-139160","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-the-bronx","8":"tag-44th-precinct","9":"tag-arrest","10":"tag-bronx","11":"tag-murder","12":"tag-new-york","13":"tag-new-york-city","14":"tag-nyc","15":"tag-nypd","16":"tag-police","17":"tag-shooting","18":"tag-the-bronx","19":"tag-the-bronx-headlines","20":"tag-the-bronx-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139160","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139160"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139160\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/139161"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139160"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139160"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139160"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
