The "love triangle" shooting happened Saturday at about 12:15 a.m. when police responded to a 911 call for a man shot inside 1428 83rd St. in Bensonhurst.

When officers arrived, they found a 30-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the head.

EMS responded, but the man was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police arrested Adam Thomas, 31, of the Bronx, in connection to the shooting on a murder charge.

The victim was identified as Justin Moncada, 30, of the Bronx.

Hours earlier on Friday at about 10:15 p.m., police responded to a separate, unrelated call for shots fired at Rockaway Parkway and Glenwood Avenue in Canarsie.

When officers got there, two men were found with gunshot wounds in front of 1430 Rockaway Parkway, police said.

Cops said an uncooperative man who wasn’t identified was shot in the left shoulder and was transported to a hospital in stable condition.

The other victim, a 32-year-old man, was shot in the neck and was brought to Brookdale Hospital, where they were later pronounced dead.

No arrests have been made in this case, and the victim’s identity was not released.
