This is the horrific moment a neighbour gun s down a stepfather and stepson outside their front door during a dispute over noise.
Bladimy Mathurin, 47, and Chin Wai Mode, 27, were fatally shot inside the family's apartment on Sunday night in Brooklyn, New York, according to police, who responded to the alleged shooter and victims at around 10.30pm. When officers arrived, they found the two victims with fatal gunshots after an argument over noise with a neighbour.
The suspect allegedly fled the scene and has not been arrested. Marie Luc Delille, the wife of Mathurin and mum of Mode, heartbreakingly told ABC 7 NY: "The guy killed my family, the only family I have. This man hates us with every bone in his body. 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?”

Moments later, she is joined by her son, Chinwai Mode. The video has no audio, so it is unclear what was said during the dispute.

But just seconds later, school bus driver Bladimy Mathuri marches out of the apartment holding a pair of scissors and angrily confronts the neighbour, the video shows. His wife attempts to drag the dad away but he pushes her back. Moments later, the neighbour takes out a handgun from his jacket and aims it at Mathurin.

Mode, who was also in the hallway, tries to flee from the gunman, but the neighbour fires multiple shots at him, including at least twice after he had collapsed in a pool of his blood next to a staircase.
The neighbour then returns to Mathuri, who is still alive but struggling to get up and shoots him point-blank on his doorstep. He then flees the scene. Paramedics were called to the apartment building and discovered Mathurin and Mode dead from multiple gunshot wounds to the head and torso, according to police. Officials have identified the individual but have not named the suspect.
Bladimy was described as a 'wonderful guy' by neighbours (Bladimy Mathurin/Facebook)“He’s a muscular guy. He looks intimidating, but that’s not who he is. He is a wonderful guy,” family friend Mickael Louis said. “It’s terrible, heart-wrenching,” said Lidell Robinson, who lives on the same floor as Delille’s family. “I’m moving out. I’m not going to take it here now. I don't want this. I’m sick, I have nerve [problems], I have heart problems.”
Leonard Hayes, another neighbor, said he heard shots in the hallway Sunday night and then looked through his front door’s peephole, only to discover a body slumped on the floor. “We just moved here recently,” he said “He was in front of his door. You’re supposed to be safe in your home.”
