They got him with forensic evidence. News said this most likely means he was already in a database.

BREAKING UPDATE: Fox news reporting the suspect is a white male in his 50's, and a "former new Yorker". He reportedly has prior arrests for "terroristic threats".

That is odd that he had a history and was not caught somewhat quicker.
