A neighbour downstairs in Brooklyn, New York, USA, shot and murdered a father and son during a fight over noise.
School bus driver Bladimy Mathurin, 47, and his stepson Chinwai Mode, 27, were identified by the New York Police Department (NYPD) as the deceased father.
On social media, an African-American guy dressed in black is shown standing angrily outside his neighbor’s flat, waiting for Mathurin to leave before going back inside to change into a shirt.

A 47-year-old neighbour named Jason Pass, who was identified by the NYPD on Tuesday, is talking with a woman who seems to be Mathurin’s wife as she leaves the apartment.
Mode appears very instantly and joins the woman. It’s unclear what was said during the exchange because the footage doesn’t have audio.
Mathurin storms out of the flat a few moments later, charging Pass while wielding a pair of scissors.
Pass draws a revolver and points it at Mathurin almost simultaneously as the wife of the school bus driver makes a valiant attempt to take him away.
While turning to head towards his flat, Mathurin sees the gun, waves it off, and is shot at by his neighbour.
The neighbour opens fire on Mode, who is in the hallway as well, causing him to fall to the ground in a pool of his own blood near a stairway. Mode tries to avoid the gunman.
Mathurin, who is still alive and fighting to stand up, is shot in the head by the suspect when he returns.
Pass strolls away from the scene after killing the sun and the father. On Sunday night, there were killings.
When they weren’t making any noise, the victim’s relatives claimed the suspect was crazy and that he would always be complaining about it.
According to the NYPD, since March 2022, Pass had made six calls over noise complaints, primarily related to “people walking.”
“There was no carpeting in the apartment upstairs, so people going back and forth caused these calls,” chief investigator Joseph Kenny continued.
Seeking the shooter remains a priority.
