Migrant fugitives who fled Florida on attempted murder rap nabbed with guns inside packed NYC shelter

A pair of Cuban migrants wanted on attempted murder charges in Florida were nabbed with a gun after checking into a city-run Queens shelter on Thursday, police and sources said.

Jaroscar Chavez Silva, 36, and his 30-year-old brother Roshiel Chavez Silva, were on the lam after the near-fatal shooting in Orlando last month when they got off a bus in the Big Apple and checked into the massive shelter at the former Creedmoor Psychiatric Hospital, the sources said.

The two were sought on a warrant issued in Florida on Sept. 16 and were tracked to the five boroughs by the US Marshals Service, according to sources.
