Shocking: Man kills neighbour, son during argument over noise in US

Published

on

 

A shocking video has emerged showing the moment a crazed neighbor shot dead a father and his stepson in cold blood in a Brooklyn apartment hallway during an argument over noise Sunday night.

The distressing footage, according to The New York Post, opens with a man dressed in all black pacing angrily outside his upstairs neighbors’ apartment on the fourth floor of 1418 Brooklyn Ave. in a well-known East Flatbush housing complex where stars Barbra Streisand and Michael K. Williams grew up.

A short time later, the woman is joined by her son, identified by cops as 27-year-old Chinwai Mode. The video has no audio, so it is unknown what was said during the exchange.

Moments later, Mode’s stepfather, 47-year-old school bus driver Bladimy Mathurin, marches out of the apartment brandishing a pair of scissors and angrily confronts the neighbor, the video shows.

His wife tries to drag him away, but the bodybuilder dad of four pushes her back.

At that moment, the verbal dispute takes a harrowing turn when the neighbor in black pulls out a handgun and aims it at Mathurin.

Mathurin spots the gun but waves it off. He turns around and begins walking toward his apartment, at which point the neighbor opens fire and strikes Mathurin, who falls to the floor.

Mode, who was also in the hallway, tries to get away from the gunman, but the neighbor fires multiple shots at him, including at least twice after he had collapsed in a pool of his own blood next to a staircase.

The suspect then returns to Mathurin, who is still alive and struggling to get up, and shoots him execution-style on his own doorstep.

Having killed the two men, the gunman calmly observes the grisly scene before stepping into an elevator, which he takes down to the street and flees.

Nine .45-caliber shell casings and five bullet fragments were recovered from the hallway, sources said.

The sprawling 59-building apartment complex where Sunday’s shooting took place was built in the 1940s and was known at the time as Vanderveer Estates before being renamed Flatbush Gardens decades later.

The Delta State Police Command has killed three suspected kidnappers in a fierce gun battle following an attempted abduction.

The suspects had tried to kidnap the wife of a member of the Delta State House of Assembly on 2nd September 2024, at Okoloba Junction, Jakpa Road, Uvwie

During the failed attempt, the suspects killed two policemen and the lawmaker’s driver, Mr David Imela.

The Police Command’s spokesperson, SP Bright Edafe, confirmed this to PUNCH Metro on Sunday in Asaba, the Delta State capital.

He said, “Following the failed attempted kidnap of the wife of a Delta State House of Assembly member, where the suspected kidnappers murdered two mobile policemen and the driver, the Commissioner of Police, CP Olufemi Abaniwonda, immediately ordered heightened security around Warri and neighbouring areas, including roadblocks at exit points.”

Police operatives from Ebrumede Division, led by the Divisional Police Officer (DPO), CSP Iwok Ndifereke, strategically created a traffic hold-up at DSC roundabout. They spotted a vehicle matching the description provided, including the registration number.

“On noticing the traffic and seeing the police, the hoodlums opened fire on the officers. The police responded professionally, given the busy nature of the area. The suspects abandoned their bullet-riddled vehicle and fled with gunshot injuries. Three AK-47 rifles and the operational vehicle, with registration number WWR-436-GZ, were recovered,” Edafe explained.

Unsatisfied with the suspects’ escape, CP Abaniwonda directed the DPO to pursue the assailants and ensure their capture.

“Armed with information and evidence found in the abandoned vehicle, on 3rd October 2024, CSP Iwok Ndifereke led his team to the suspects’ hideout in Agbarho.

The police engaged the suspects in a fierce gunfight. Three of the suspects sustained fatal gunshot injuries while others escaped. Another AK-47 rifle was recovered.”

The injured suspects were taken to hospital, where they were confirmed dead. A manhunt for the remaining members of the gang is ongoing, Edafe added.

CP Olufemi commended the bravery and diligence of the DPO and his team during the operation and encouraged other officers to follow their example.
