A Bronx shooting that left two people dead erupted from a heated dispute between migrant squatters and fed-up legal residents of the apartment building – with the migrant suspect now on the run, police said.

Josue Ruben Silva, 21, who already has a lengthy rap sheet, is being sought by cops in the May 24 fatal shooting.
