NEW YORK (VINnews) — The man accused of carrying out two horrific shootings across New York City — including one captured on surveillance video — has been caught after a dayslong manhunt that prompted the FBI to offer a $25,000 reward for information leading to his capture.

Jesus Acosta, 31, was arrested Saturday morning and charged with two counts of murder and attempted murder, police said.

Acosta had been wanted since Sunday, when police said he opened fire inside a Brooklyn restaurant, shooting one man in the leg before allegedly shooting another man in the head.

Police said Acosta shot Mohammed Rasel at American Best Wings and Pizza in Brownsville, then shot Rasel’s friend and co-worker, 44-year-old MD Yousuf, in the head. Yousuf, a father of two daughters, was killed.

Two days later, police said Acosta struck again — this time at a Bronx restaurant.

Shortly after midnight Tuesday, Acosta allegedly walked into 149 Grill in Melrose and opened fire on 33-year-old customer Tayvon Shuler, known as Plucky.

The horrific shooting was captured on surveillance video. The footage shows the gunman pulling out a firearm and shooting Shuler before going behind the counter and taking money from the register as terrified customers and employees scrambled for safety.

Shuler later died at a hospital.

The two shootings left two people dead, another wounded and police searching across the city for Acosta.

His capture came Saturday morning after an anonymous 911 caller provided information that led police to a park near Watson Avenue and Morrison Avenue in the Bronx.

Acosta has 13 prior arrests dating back to an armed robbery when he was 14, authorities said. He served 10 years in state prison for shooting a man on a subway platform and was released on parole in April.

The FBI had offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to Acosta’s location and apprehension. The United Bodegas of America had also offered a $10,000 reward.

Acosta is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
