Standup comedian wanted for shooting man on the subway, police say

NEW YORK (WABC) -- A standup comedian is now wanted for shooting a man on the subway.

Detectives say Marcos Cofresi, 30, shot another man in the arm and the torso last month when they got into a dispute on board a southbound N train.

Cofresi was scheduled to perform at a club near Times Square on Saturday night, but the venue changed the bill after police named the suspect.
