\u201cGod is good, God is great,\u201d Jesus Acosta said as he was hauled off to Bronx Criminal court in handcuffs for the two deadly robberies.<\/p>\n

The parolee, 31, had been the subject of a manhunt by the feds and NYPD for fatally shooting a married dad of two and wings-restaurant worker in Brooklyn on Aug. 23, then pumping a deadly bullet into a customer at a Bronx deli, cops said. <\/p>\n

There is no indication that the slayings involved anything but robberies. <\/p>\n

He was caught by New York\u2019s Finest at a Bronx park over the weekend, police said. <\/p>\n

Acosta was still on parole after being released from state prison April 23 following 10 years behind bars on assault and felony gun possession charges, according to online records.<\/p>\n

His deadly killing spree began when he shot beloved hard-working wings-eatery employee MD Yousef, 44, in the head during a heist. Yousef died at the hospital, police said.<\/p>\n

Within 48 hours, Acosta pulled off another armed robbery at a bodega on 149th Street, where he shot and killed 33-year-old Tayvon Shuler, cops said..<\/p>\n

The FBI posted a $25,000 reward for the accused career criminal, while United Bodegas of America, a Big Apple-based advocacy group for small food retailers, put up another $10,000, and Acosta was nabbed in the park Saturday.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

He was led out of the 43rd Precinct in The Bronx in cuffs hours later, ignoring questions from reporters outside the stationhouse before he blurted out his bizarre first public comments.<\/p>\n
