Raul Correa, 59, was charged in the murders of Tevin Beckles and Randolph Williams.
A 59-year-old man was arrested for fatally shooting two men in Brooklyn, cops said.
Raul Correa allegedly shot both Tevin Beckles, 21, and Randolph Williams, 37, on Pennsylvania Ave. near Glenmore Ave. around 8:35 p.m. Friday in retaliation for an earlier dispute, law enforcement sources said.
Witnesses identified Correa — who lives down the block in East New York from the double homicide — as the gunman, police sources said.
A .38-caliber revolver was recovered at the scene.
Correa was charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon. His arraignment was pending Wednesday.

Sources said Beckles’ rap sheet included 25 arrests while Williams had 52 arrests.
Most of those busts were drug related, sources said.
Cops say that Correa’s rap sheet is much smaller. His last arrest was on May 10 when he was taken in on a marijuana possession charge, officials said.
The double murder was one of four fatal shootings in the city that began Friday and ended before 6 p.m. Saturday.
Seven others were wounded in separate shootings in the same time period, officials said.
