A suspect has been nabbed in the fatal September shooting of a man in a Brooklyn subway station, cops said Wednesday.
Donald Haywood, 57, was arrested Tuesday for the murder of Freddie Weston, 47, who was on his way to work when he was shot in the head at the Rockaway Ave. station in Brownsville on Sept. 4.
Haywood is charged with murder and weapon possession, police said.
The deadly confrontation unfolded at the same subway station Weston’s 53-year-old brother, Derrick Weston, an MTA train operator, drivers a train through every day for work.
“I’m a train operator and I have to pull my train into the station where it happened and that’s really a hard pill for me,” the distraught brother told the Daily News at the time.
“I just say, I have to pray. I have to pray. I have to pray.”
Haywood’s criminal record includes seven prior arrests, most recently in 2017 for a weapons charge, according to a police source.
