Alvarado is wanted for armed assault with intent to murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and multiple firearm violations.

The shooting occurred around 2:30 p.m. last Tuesday. Police said an argument broke out on one of the trains, when one of the men involved pulled out a gun and shot one of the victims, who was standing at the door of the train about to exit. The argument spilled out onto the platform, where a second man was shot. The shooter fled the scene.

The victims were two men, ages 29 and 43. They were rushed to a nearby hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Anyone with information on Alvarado's location is asked to contact MBTA Transit Police.
