Cops have identified the man who they say fatally shot a Brooklyn metal worker who tried to stop a car break-in spree Tuesday.

Bryan Aponte, 20, is the man who shot dead 53-year-old Michael Matusiak after the Good Samaritan confronted Aponte and two other bandits breaking into parked cars around 7:50 a.m in East Williamsburg, according to a wanted poster tweeted Friday by NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce.

Matusiak was shot three times in the chest after he questioned the men on Grattan St. near Knickerbocker Ave. Matusiak's co-worker Derrick Robinson survived two shots. A 13-year-old girl walking to school was also wounded.

On Saturday, cops released several images of the suspect.
