A bizarre Brooklyn love triangle turned deadly Monday night when a knife-wielding psycho killed his lover’s new boyfriend before being shot dead by police, sources said.
Jealous stabber Francisco Carvajal, 47, hacked Rafael Laureano, 51, to death in an apartment at 820 Ocean Parkway in Kensington, then threatened to stab the woman before police barged in and shot him at about 7:20 p.m., according to law enforcement sources.
The building’s super said he could hear fighting from inside the seventh-floor apartment.
“They were yelling and screaming,” the super said. “The kids were crying.”
A resident of the building said he heard shots and saw the ugly scene unfold.
“It was complete bedlam,” he said.
Neighbors said the woman is a divorced mother of two young children and a personal trainer.
Her two kids were inside the apartment, but they were not injured.
“The little girl was outside talking to the cops. She was all right,” the neighbor said. “The son was in the lobby talking to neighbors.”
The woman’s former husband said Monday night she was not seriously injured.
“All I know is that my kids are all right,” said the ex, Danny Russo. “That’s my primary concern right now.”
Carvajal was declared dead at the scene and Laureano was taken to Maimonides Hospital, where he died.
Meanwhile, a cop shot a gun-wielding man in the elbow in the Bronx Monday evening.
The officer opened fire on 19-year-old Damien Anderson at East 145th Street and College Avenue in Mott Haven just before 6 p.m., police said.
Authorities said Anderson was holding a gun and pointed it at police. He was hospitalized in stable condition.
Police said they recovered a .22-caliber pistol at the scene.
