Stomach-churning video shows the moment a Brooklyn man shot dead a father and his stepson in the hallway of their apartment building over a noise level feud.
The fight that ended with the cold-blooded murders of two men was reportedly about a noise complaint that occurred Sunday night.
According to the New York Post, the shooting happened on the fourth floor of a well-known housing complex in East Flatbush, where Barbra Streisand and late The Wire star Michael K. Williams grew up.
The haunting footage shows a man dressed in black, angrily pacing the hallway outside of his upstairs neighbors’ apartment.
As the man paces, a woman in sweatpants and a tank-top emerges from an apartment and has words with him.
The horror unfolded in front of Mathurin’s wife, who watched as both her husband and son were killed in cold blood. The shooter in blue is on the run and has not been named by cops
The woman is quickly joined by her son, who has been identified by authorities as Chinwai Mode, 27.
The video does not have audio, so it is unclear precisely what the neighbors’ back and forth entails.
Moments later, the mother and son are joined by Mode’s stepfather, Bladimy Mathurin, 47.
The father angry confronts the neighbor and gets in his face while wielding a pair of scissors.
His wife attempts to turn him away from the confrontation, but Mathurin – reportedly an amateur bodybuilder and father of four – pushes her away.
In that moment, the neighbor pulls from his jacket a gun, which he aims at Mathurin.
Mathurin sees the gun but dismisses it and turns to walk back toward his door. The neighbor then begins to fire, striking Mathurin who immediately falls to the ground.
The stepson, who was in the hallway and saw Mathurin go down, attempts to run from the shooter but is unsuccessful and is shot multiple times before collapsing, motionless, in a pool of his own blood near the staircase.
The apartment building where the double-killing happened was once home to Barbra Streisand and Michael K Williams
Mathurin was shot several times by a neighbor who erupted after a confrontation over a noise complaint – an issue that had come up many times between the two men who lived in apartments on adjacent floors
The neighbor then focuses his attention back on Mathurin, who is struggling to get up. He shoots him execution-style just outside his door.
The man, having slaughtered two people, looks around the bloody hallway and then calmly waits for the elevator, which he takes downstairs before fleeing the scene.
Police say they have identified the killer, though they have not publicly named him and he is believed to still be on the run.
Nine bullet casings were recovered from the scene, according to the Post.
Following the murders, Marie Delille – Mathurin’s wife – said she and her family had fought for years with their downstairs neighbor about noise levels.
On Sunday night, the neighbor began banging on his ceiling because of the allegedly loud noises stemming from Mathurin and Delille’s apartment.
Mathurin responded by banging back, which prompted the neighbor to bound up the stairs and kick the family’s front door, according to the grieving widow.
‘This man hates us with every bone in his body,’ said Delille.
‘My husband had no gun, no weapon. Why did you bring a gun to shoot my family? Why would you bring a gun to tear my family apart? Why? Why?’
