SUNSET PARK — Police have charged a suspect in the shooting death of a 68-year-old man in Brooklyn last month that they say stemmed from a two-decades-old feud in China.

Wu Long Chen, 45, allegedly shot Ying Guan Chen in the head, arm and mid-section in front of 6103 Seventh Ave., near 61st Street, on Dec. 7 about 9:35 p.m., the NYPD said. The two were not related.

Wu Long Chen, of the Lower East Side, was arrested Dec. 31 in Texas trying to cross the border into Mexico, sources said. He was charged in New York with murder and criminal possession of a weapon on Jan. 4. 

Police could not immediately provide information regarding the feud between the two men.
