Father, son shot dead after argument with neighbor in Brooklyn

NEW YORK -- A father and son were allegedly shot dead by their downstairs neighbor in Brooklyn Sunday night. 

The search is still on for the shooter. 

The victim's family called the suspect psychotic, saying he would constantly complain about noise when they weren't making any. On Sunday, they say he confronted the family yet again, this time pulling out a gun.   

"He killed my brother and my dad," the victim's daughter said. 

His family in East Flatbush, Brooklyn is shattered after police said the disgruntled neighbor opened fire Sunday night, killing 47-year-old Bladimy Mathurin and his 27-year-old son, Chinwai Mode.  

"This man hates us with every bone in his body," Mathurin's wife Marie Delille said. She's now a grieving widow, and mother. 

She said ever since her family moved onto the fourth floor of the Flatbush Gardens apartment building four years ago, they've butted heads with the man living directly below them complaining that their children are being too loud. Sunday was no exception. 

She says ever since her family moved onto the 4th floor of this Flatbush Gardens apartment building 4 years ago, they've butted heads with the man living directly below them complaining that their children are being too loud. 

"I was in the kitchen, doing dishes in the sink, I heard bang bang bang. I asked did anybody make noise? The kids be like, no mommy, nobody made noise. My husband banged back. The man came upstairs and kicked the door," Delille said. 

According to police, Mathurin opened the door, argued with the neighbor, and was threatening him with a pair of scissors when the suspect opened fire, shooting the father and his son in the head. But Delille, who says she was present, maintains the police have it all wrong.  

"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?" Delille said. 

"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. 

Family and friends say, while grieving this tremendous loss, they are also worried about their safety, afraid the shooter could return anytime.

Two men were shot and killed inside a Brooklyn apartment building, according to police, who are still looking for the gunman.

Officers were called to the building on Brooklyn Avenue in East Flatbush just before 11 p.m. Sunday, police said, following some type of argument. It was not clear what the argument was about, but it ultimately led to gunfire.

Detectives said the 47-year-old and 27-year-old victims were found in a fourth-floor hallway with gunshot wounds to the head and body. Investigators seen going in and out of the building were working to determine the connection between the pair.

According to the investigation, which was still in its early stages, it appeared the two victims were arguing with each other when a third person, the shooter, stepped into the feud and opened fire on both of them. The suspect then took off right after and was seen leaving the area, law enforcement told NBC New York.

The alleged shooter was described as a bald man wearing a blue jacket and jeans. The NYPD's K-9 unit had been called in to help with the search.

No arrests have yet been made.

What happened just before this tragedy, as police search for the person responsible. as we bring you back live… at this hour… it is still unclear what exactly was the argument that led to this episode of gun violence
