A pair of scooter-riding masked gunmen were behind a shooting outside a Brooklyn migrant shelter that left one asylum seeker dead and the other critical — in what sources said could be a Tren de Aragua gang-related hit.
The gunplay erupted around 11 p.m. Sunday outside a shelter at 29 Ryerson St. near the Brooklyn Navy Yard, when the two shooters pulled up and opened fire on a 21-year-old Venezuelan migrant identified by law enforcement sources and witnesses as Enny De Jesus.
“We were sitting here, joking and everything like that,” said a Venezuelan migrant who only gave his name as Angel. “We were celebrating a birthday. The two guys came on the motorcycle and shot him — four, five times. The two guys had masks.
“I was here,” Angel added. “They shot from the bike and kept going.”
A second migrant, a 59-year-old man who had only arrived at the shelter a week earlier, was caught in the cross fire and is listed in critical condition on Monday morning, the sources said.
Witnesses said the second man was an innocent bystander — with gruesome video viewed by The Post showing him sprawled out on the sidewalk with blood streaming from his head.
Police took a person of interest in the shooting into custody just 10 minutes later, when two men on a scooter fitting the description of the gunmen got into an accident on Park Avenue and Taffee Place.
One of the two was injured and nabbed at the scene, while the suspected gunman — who was wearing a distinctive pink shirt — took off and remains on the loose, the sources said.
No charges have been filed in the incident.
Cops are now trying to determine if the shooting was linked to the notorious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, which has established a foothold in the Big Apple, the sources said.
Investigators said the vicious gang has recruited scooter-riding armed thugs who have terrorized the city with snatch-and-run robberies and violent assaults throughout the five boroughs.
Angel told The Post that De Jesus had been housed at a massive tent city for migrants erected on Randall’s Island until recently but was booted for fighting with another asylum seeker.
It is not known if that was tied to the Sunday night shooting.
“They came for him,” Angel insisted. “I was standing right there. I see everything right there.
“I’m nervous everyday,” he added. “First time I see a guy get shot.”
Law enforcement sources said it is unclear if the shooting is related to a separate shooting nearby several minutes earlier, which left a homeless man dead and his killers still on the lam.
