Vigil held for victims of East Flatbush double homicide
Candles were placed outside of 1418 Brooklyn Ave., where the victims and gunman lived.
Neighbors in the Flatbush Gardens community came together to commemorate the lives of 47-year-old Bladimy Mathurin and his 27-year-old stepson, Chinwai Mode.
A vigil was held Wednesday night to mourn their deaths. The two were shot inside of their apartment on Monday morning. Police believe that 47-year-old Jason Pass was responsible for their deaths.
Pass was seen on surveillance video inside the building where the homicide took place taking out a firearm and aiming it at Mathurin. Pass has since been fatally shot by NYPD officers who say that Pass had a knife and lunged at officers Wednesday morning when they approached him in his car.
