A father and son were fatally shot in their Brooklyn apartment on Sunday over a noise dispute with a downstairs neighbor, the New York Police Department says.
Police have announced that they are now searching for 47-year-old Jason Pass in connection to the shooting.
The NYPD did not respond to USA TODAY's request for comment but the family of the victims identified them as 47-year-old Bladimy Mathurin and his 27-year-old son, Chinwai Mode, CBS New York reported.
The family, who moved into the East Flatbush apartment four years ago said they had constant confrontations with the neighbor over alleged noise, even when they weren't making any.
"This man hates us with every bone in his body," Mathurin's wife Marie Delille told CBS.

Noise complaints escalated to violence
Delille told WABC the neighbor was banging on his ceiling, angry about noise being made by Delille's young children.
The outlet reported that since March 2022, Pass has made six 311 calls to complain about noise. The noise, police told the outlet, was most likely just people walking back and forth.
"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 told CBS News.
WABC reported that surveillance footage shows Mathurin opening the door and holding a pair of scissors to the neighbor's, identified in the footage as Pass, neck.
Delille told WABC that the argument escalated and the neighbor fired nine rounds killing her husband and son in front of her 10-year-old child.
"Kids make noise all the time, it doesn't dictate for someone to come up with a firearm and take someone's life," family friend Mickael Louis told WABC.
