In a tragic incident last Friday, 45-year-old Alfredo William Alvarez, a Bronx dad with a lengthy criminal history, was fatally shot during a confrontation on a Manhattan-bound D train as it departed from Fordham Road station. NYPD has identified and arrested three suspects on Monday morning: Justin Herde, 24, Alfredo Trinidad, 42, and Betty Cotto, 38, in connection with the deadly attack that occurred around 5 a.m. near the 182nd–183rd Streets station. The arrests were made possible by the efforts of NYPD officers sporting tactical vests and the US Marshals Fugitive Task Force wielding assault weapons. The victim's family is left seeking answers and justice, with the victim's nephew, Donovan, 22, expressing relief that justice has been served. The suspects have been charged with murder, and one has claimed self-defense. The successful apprehension of the suspects was aided by subway train cameras.
