The on-the-run Brooklyn man wanted for shooting two upstairs neighbors to death over noise complaints was nabbed after being shot by NYPD cops early Wednesday, police sources said.

Jason Pass, 47, has been on the run since Sunday night after he was caught on video fatally shooting 47-year-old Bladimy Mathurin and Mathurin’s 27-year-old stepson Chin Wai Mode in the hallway of their Flatbush Gardens apartment building.

About 7:15 a.m. Wednesday, cops found Pass on Bay 44th St. in Bath Beach, Brooklyn, sources said.

Bladimy Mathurin (left) and his stepson, Chin Wai Mode (right), were shot and killed in a fourth-floor hallway outside their apartment on Sunday in Brooklyn.

Pass was shot by officers as they tried to arrest him, a police source said. Pass was armed with a knife when he was shot, a second police source said.

The former state corrections officer was wounded and taken to a local hospital.

Pass, who often stays with his elderly mother in the apartment directly below Mathurin’s fourth-floor pad on Brooklyn Ave. in East Flatbush, had long complained about the noise the family upstairs was making, according to police.

A woman who identified herself as Pass’ older sister on Tuesday confirmed the ongoing quarrel but claimed Mathurin and his family had threatened her mom and brother prior to that.

On the night of the killing, Pass went upstairs simply to talk to Mathurin “about the jumping and moving furniture and all these situations,” she claimed.

The shooting, she claimed, was “self defense.”

Mathurin brandished a pair of scissors as Sunday’s hallway argument escalated, video obtained by The Daily News shows.

Pass is seen pulling a pistol with a green laser scope and opening fire on Mathurin as the victim’s back was turned.

The Brooklyn bodybuilder was talking to his wife, who was begging him to go back inside when Pass started blasting away, the video shows.

Just moments earlier, the two men stood toe-to-toe as Mathurin held a pair of scissors to Pass’ chest, but the gunman appeared to be in no immediate danger when he pulled his gun and started firing.

Mathurin was repeatedly shot in the back and the head as he ran back to his apartment. Mode, Mathurin’s stepson, was fatally shot trying to run to the hallway staircase, the video shows.

After shooting both men, Pass didn’t make a quick escape. Instead, he called the elevator and waited about 20 seconds for it to arrive, the video shows.

Pass had a short-lived career as a corrections officer at Sing Sing Correctional Facility in Westchester and was terminated in 2005, according to Department of Corrections and Community Supervision spokesperson Thomas Mailey.

The suspected gunman was fired from the department in June of that year, the same month The News reported he’d pulled a pistol on two plainclothes police officers in a road rage incident on Ralph Ave. in Flatlands, Brooklyn.
