Special Considerations: Both men in comparison seem to have a lot of similarities such as: sex, race, height, hair color and head hair description, they both share likeness within photos, PA (where up went missing from, is only approximately 3 hours and 4 minutes) from where UP was found in MD, both men also seem to have similar items such as black comb, both are possibly smokers etc. so I felt it was at least worth submitting for review

Warhol Gravely Wounded In Studio; Actress Is Held

Richard F. Shepard, The New York Times, 4 June 1968

Andy Warhol, the artist who brought a bewildering new dimension to American pop culture through his films, sculptures and paintings, was shot and critically wounded in his film studio yesterday afternoon.

Less than four hours later a 28-year-old actress, Valeria Solanas, who appeared in the Warhol film I, a Man, surrendered to a policeman in Times Square and told the police that she had shot Mr. Warhol.

Dr. Massimo Bazzini, medical director of Columbus Hospital, said Mr. Warhol had a 50-50 chance for survival. At 2:30 this morning the artist was still in critical condition.

The artist, whose literal reproductions of Campbell Soup cans, typewriters and telephones and boxes of Brillo that sold for $1,300 each caused an art upheaval, was shot in his “factory” on the sixth floor of the building at 33 Union Square West.

Mr. Warhol, who was talking on the telephone to an actress, was in the large, rather bare I studio with Mario Amayo, a writer. The elevator door opened, a woman entered the room, and, after a brief conversation, pulled out a gun and opened fire. Mr. Warhol fell, badly wounded. Mr. Amayo was hit in the back, but was less seriously hurt and later was released from the hospital.

At 8 P.M. Miss Solanas is walked up to Patrolman William Schemalix at 42nd Street and Seventh Avenue and told him, “The police are looking for me and want me.” The police said that she had admitted the shooting and that Mr. Warhol had had “too much control of my life.”

She wore a trench-coat, with a pistol in each side pocket the police said a .32-caliber automatic she was carrying had been fired.

After questioning by Rodrick Lankier, an assistant district attorney, and Inspector Thomas McGuire, commanding officer of the first detective division, she was booked on charges of felonious assault and possession of a deadly weapon.

Dressed in khaki jeans, a blue turtleneck sweater, a yellow knit sweatshirt and torn blue sneakers, the dark-haired Miss Solanas gave no address, saying, “I live nowhere.” Asked if she was an actress, she said, “No, I'm really a writer.”

She was taken to the West 30th Street police station last night and will be arraigned today in Criminal Court She said that she had written a manifesto “telling what I’m all about” She said that she was a 1960 graduate of the University of Maryland.

The police said they knew of no motive for the shooting, but acquaintances of Mr. Warhol and Miss Solanas said that she had wanted him to film a script that she had written.

Dr. Bazzini said that Mr. Warhol had been shot in the left abdomen and in the left and right side. A four-man medical team operated on him for more than four hours. It was believed that the artist had been hit by at least two bullets. His mother, Mrs. Julia Warhol, was placed under sedation at the hospital and then taken home by two of her son’s associates. She and her son live at 1342 Lexington Avenue, near 89th Street Mrs. Warhol was accompanied by Gerald Malagna, who works with Mr. Warhol, and by Viva, his latest star. Viva, who uses only a single name, said that she had been speaking to Mr. Warhol on the telephone at the time of the shooting. She said she heard “five shots and a lot of screaming.”

At the hospital, more than a dozen friends of Mr. Warhol, many clad in hippie fashions, waited in the emergency room for word of his condition.

The shooting, as reconstructed from accounts by witnesses and the police, took place at about 4:20 P.M. Shortly before then a young woman, who had visited the studio at 2:30 P.M. and left when she learned that Mr. Warhol was out, emerged from the self-service elevator.

She found Mr. Warhol and Mr. Amaya in a large room, onto which the elevator door opens. Mr. Amaya, an editor of Arts and Artists, a London publication that recently ran an article on Mr. Warhol, said that after the woman entered the room he turned away and then heard the gunfire.

“I thought it was coming through the window,” he said. “Then I noticed a revolver like one of those guns you see in Dick Tracy in her hand.”

He said that Mr. Warhol, clad in a brown leather jacket, trousers and boots, shouted “Oh, no!” as she fired. She then turned to Mr. Amaya and fired as he ducked.

The police and an ambulance were called. On the basis of description of the woman, the police began searching for Miss Solanas.

About a year ago Miss Solanas placed an advertisement in The Village Voice, a Greenwich Village weekly, announcing the formation of an organization called S.C.U.M., the Society for Cutting Up Men.

At the office of The Voice last night a spokesman said that the ad had been accepted as a humorous concoction.

Until last October she lived at the Chelsea Hotel, famous for its literary and artistic clientele, and the locale for a Warhol movie Chelsea Girls

Tess Jennings, the night telephone operator, said, “She’d stand by the wall and buttonhole people. On the telephone, she’d like to announce who she was calling—maybe a famous actress—and tell you to stay on the line, so that she wouldn't be charged for the call if the actress didn’t answer.

“She wore men’s clothes, slacks and jackets and hats. She had long hair, but she wore it tied up short because she said it was 'to feminine’ when it hung down.”

The girl who was talking with Mr. Warhol on the telephone, Viva, was born Susan Hoffmann. She identified herself in a recent article in New York magazine as one of nine children of a Syracuse lawyer. The 25-year-old blonde said she lived in a brownstone on East 83d Street

In the article she was quoted as having said: “I've got to call Andy to pay my Con Edison bill. Andy gives me a hundred dollars here and a hundred dollars there, whenever I need money. I never ask for much. We’re all supposed to go regular salary soon, but Andy says the company is bankrupt.”

Viva starred last year as “The Waitres" in Mr. Warhol’s film The Nude Restaurant. Some 40 minutes of the first part of the film was made in a bathroom used by Viva, who was described by a critic for The New York Times as a “lanky, dreaming, extremely loquacious type who is quite nude throughout the formless proceedings.”

In the casual Warhol production style, Viva remarks to a young man who joins her in a bathtub, "You know Churchill spent eight hours a day in his bath?”

Mr. Warhol, the son of Czechoslovak immigrants, was born in McKeesport, Pa., either in 1927 or 1929—there is some doubt about which year it was.

His talent for drawing notice to himself has tended to obscure some of his accomplishments as an artist and as a film-maker. His work has stirred controversy in the art world where some critics saw in it a refutation of abstract expressionism. Three years ago he described himself as a “retired artist” who would now make only films.

In 1964, Mr. Warhol’s cinematography won him the Independent Film Award, presented by Film Culture Magazine.

He has made more than 150 films since he began his career in the movie business. In 1966, he made The Chelsea Girls, a 4-hour film depicting life among a group of homosexuals, lesbians and dope addicts. It was actually two films, shown side by side on twin screens.

The film set new precedents in displaying male nudity and in presenting dialogue liberally sprinkled with four-letter words. It earned more than $500,000 on a cost of less than $1,500.

Mr. Warhol has developed his own stable of stars, who go by names such as Mario Montez, Ingrid Superstar, National Velvet and Viva.

Police have identified a 17-year-old who was shot and killed by police in East Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania after he allegedly ran away from a traffic stop as Antwon Rose. Rose was a student at Woodland Hills High School last year. The Allegheny County Police Department says that Rose got out of a vehicle that matched the description of a vehicle seen near a shooting that occurred shortly before 8:30 p.m. on Kirkpatrick Avenue in North Braddock. Authorities say that the officer from the East Pittsburgh Police Department was handcuffing the driver of the vehicle when two male passengers — one of which was Rose — ran from the car. Police then shot and killed him. After being shot, Rose was taken to McKeesport Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. At this time, The Allegheny County Police Department is asking the suspect who ran away from the vehicle to turn himself in “so that he can give a comprehensive description of what occurred.” via Allegheny County Police: Information on the vehicle that fled the North Braddock scene was put out over the air for neighboring police departments to assist/respond. An East Pittsburgh police officer saw a vehicle matching the description on Grandview Avenue which also had ballistics damage to the rear window. The officer stopped the vehicle near Grandview and Howard Street in East Pittsburgh. The officer took the driver into custody. While he was putting the driver into handcuffs, two other occupants ran from the car. One individual – a 17-year-old male – was shot by police. He was transported to McKeesport Hospital where he was declared deceased. Further information on the deceased, including name, will be released by the Allegheny County Office of the Medical Examiner once formal identification has been made and the next of kin notified. Duquense Mayor Nickole Nsby wrote about Rose on Facebook, saying “He volunteered for me as well. He prepared excel spreadsheets and scheduled for our Movies in the Park on Friday’s. My heart is broken.” #antwonrose #policebrutality #blacklivesmatter
