Investigators had announced Tuesday afternoon that they were searching for Frank R. James, who was believed to have rented a van possibly connected to the violence.

By Wednesday morning, New York authorities said he was a suspect in the shooting itself.

He was taken into custody Wednesday afternoon in Manhattan.

Authorities were examining social media videos in which the 62-year-old decried the United States as a racist place awash in violence and railed against New York City’s mayor.
