Joseph Kernizan, 42, has been named a suspect in a Saturday Bronx shooting that left two people dead.
The man wanted for killing his estranged wife and her beau in a Bronx motel, killed himself yesterday in Miami as authorities were attempting to arrest him, sources said.
Joseph Kernizan, 42, was tracked down to a residence in Miami by the New York - New Jersey Fugitive Regional Task Force, law enforcement sources said.
Authorities closed in on Kernizan just before 11 p.m. and he allegedly fired several shots at the US Marshals and NYPD Detectives before taking his own life, law enforcement sources said.
None of the officers were injured during the gunfire, sources said.
The agencies working with the Florida - Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force, recovered several firearms from the residence, sources said.
Kernizan was wanted for the fatal shootings of his ex, Tracy Bennett, and her boyfriend, Wayne Hamilton.
The Long Island woman and her reggae-musician lover were shot dead in the parking lot of the Holiday Motel early Saturday, cops and witnesses said.
Blood-curdling screams woke guests at 3 a.m. as Bennett pleaded for her life after Kernizan allegedly shot Hamilton who was fleeing from their car.
"Please, no!" the Elmont, LI, woman cried, witnesses said.
The shooter then chased down Bennett and killed her.
"I heard her plead for her life and then heard gunshots," said guest Keshia Barrett, 36.
Tracy Bennett had obtained a restraining order against Kernizan.
Augustine Mawugbe, 45, heard 10 shots. "I came to the window after I heard the shots," he said.
He said he saw a tall man in a brown shirt — with a pistol in his right hand — jump into a car bearing New York plates.
"He drove [away] fast," Mawugbe said.
The married Hamilton, 50, had flown to La Guardia that night from Milwaukee, where he lived and performed under the name "Captain Barkey.''
He went straight to Bronx nightclub Memories, where he joined up with Bennett.
Bennett drove him to the motel, friends said.
Hamilton's friend and fellow musician Natchelous Denus, said the couple had been dating for about two years.
