The man opened fire Sunday night, killing Bladimy Mathurin, 47, and her 27-year-old son, Chinwai Mode.
A father and his son were shot to death on Sunday night in a building in the New York neighborhood of Brooklyn by a neighbor fed up with the noises coming from their home.

Victims Bladimy Mathurin, 47, and her son Chinwai Mode, 27, died on the fourth floor of the East Flatbush apartment building shortly after 10:30 p.m. Sunday.
Apparently, their downstairs neighbor came up to confront them. He said he was fed up with the noise they caused. Mathurin argued with the man and threatened him with scissors. In response, the suspect pulled out a gun and opened fire. His father and son were shot in the head. The suspect fired nine bullets at the victims. Another of Mathurin’s sons, 10 years old, was an eyewitness to the incident.

The entire sequence was captured in a chilling video taken by the building’s security cameras.
Mathurin’s wife, Marie Delilles, testified that the neighbor was banging on the ceiling in anger at the noise coming from their apartment.

“I was in the kitchen, doing the dishes, and I heard bang bang bang. I asked if anyone was making noise. The children said no, Mommy, that no one had made a noise. My husband hit back. The man went up and kicked the door,” Delilles explained to CBS.
The woman denied that her husband threatens the neighbor with scissors and said that since her family, originally from Haiti, moved into the building four years ago, they had constantly fought with the man who lives directly below them. The victims’ family called the suspect a psychopath, saying he constantly complained about noise when they weren’t making any.
Sunday was no exception.
“This man hates us with all his soul,” declared Marie Delillies.
“Children make noise all the time, that doesn’t mean someone can come with a gun and take someone’s life,” said Mickael Louis, a family friend.
So far there have been no arrests and the investigation remains open.
“I need justice to be done,” Delillies said.
Family and friends said they are also concerned for their safety, fearful that the shooter could return at any moment.
“My son is a good kid…he’s not violent,” Delillies said. “My husband didn’t have any gun, no weapon. Why do you carry a gun to shoot my family? Why do you carry a gun to destroy my family? Because? Because?”.
