Investigators say Justin Herde, Betty Cotto and Alfredo Trinidad are suspected of killing 45-year-old William Alvarez.

NEW YORK -- Police spent hours on Monday questioning three suspects in last Friday's deadly shooting on a Bronx D train.NYPD sources said the questioning was taking place at the 46th Precinct. Detectives said one reason they were able to apprehend them is because of the cameras on that subway train.In the middle of an MTA committee meeting, NYPD Transit Chief Michael Kemper learned that officers had found the suspects.

The question is why are we arresting people 50 times, 100 times? At what point are there gonna be consequences?' Kemper said.He said subway crime is up about 13% compared to this time last year, but has been improving over the last few weeks.'Nothing to be happy about. We're not. We're focused. It's progress,' Kemper said.The NYPD says that progress is because of a surge in police officers assigned to the subway system this month.
