Brooklyn detectives nabbed a suspect on Sunday afternoon connected to a double shooting the night before that left a man dead and a woman seriously injured.

Gioliver Tineo, 23, of New Lots Avenue was charged on May 27 with attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon. Additional charges may be pending the results of the ongoing investigation.

Law enforcement sources said the May 27 incident occurred at around 9:29 p.m. in front of an apartment building within the private Spring Creek Gardens complex at 902 Drew St. in City Line.

Officers responding to a 911 call regarding the shooting found 33-year-old Delvin Diaz, who lived at the location, shot numerous times about his body and a 31-year-old woman who suffered a graze wound to her shoulder.

EMS rushed both victims to Brookdale University Hospital, where Diaz was pronounced dead. The 31-year-old woman, meanwhile, was listed in stable condition.
