Pumped-up Dino Tomassetti is accused of shooting his 65-year-old father and 64-year-old mother in the head shortly after 10 a.m. Saturday, Nassau County police said. 

Both victims—identified by law enforcement officials to New Jersey's Daily Voice as Rocco and Vincenza Tomasetti—required surgery for their wounds. The father is said to be in very serious condition, sources told the Voice.

Property records show the mansion, valued at $3.2 million, according to real estate websites, is owned by the couple.

Dino—a 235-pound muscleman—fled to New Jersey in a Cadillac Escalade after the shooting, police sources told the Voice.

His fancy vehicle was tracked by GPS by New York State Police, who called the Mahwah Police Department for help when the suspect reached that area, sources told the Voice. Authorities arrested Dino shortly after 2 p.m. without incident, sources told the Voice.

He will remain in custody in Bergen County, charged as a fugitive from justice, pending his extradition to Nassau County, the outlet reported.

His arraignment in New York will ultimately depend on the condition of his parents.

Dino works as a personal trainer, according to the Daily Voice.

His father owns Brooklyn-based Empire Transit Mix Inc. on Maspeth Avenue, state records show.

A worker who answered the phone for the company Sunday didn't even know his boss had been shot.

"This is definitely shocking news to me," he said.

Dino's mother owns Starz dance studio on Broadway in Lynbrook, records show. A call to the studio was not returned.

A woman outside Dino's building in East Williamsburg, who claimed to be his best friend, told The Post that "he's definitely not" a violent person.

"NO. Not at all," she said.

"He's my best friend. I really don't want to talk about it," she added before driving off. 

A worker in his building called Tomasetti "a great guy.

"What can you do?" the worker said. "I'm from the South Bronx. S-t happens every damn day, man. There's not much I can do about it. He did what he thought was necessary, I guess.

"He's a great guy, man. I wouldn't expect him to do something like that."

The parents' neighbors were shocked that such an incident could happen in their quiet, affluent neighborhood.

"They're nice people. I don't understand the whole thing," one resident told The Post.

"They're very nice people. You couldn't ask for better neighbors," the man said of the couple. "That's all I can tell you. They don't bother you. They keep their house nice. They talk to you and say, 'Can I help you with anything?' They are very fine people. I can't say a bad word about them."

"I'm sorry for them. What else can you think? I feel very sorry for them. I hope they survive and come out of it," he added.

Another stunned neighbor, who said she was not in her home at the time of the shooting, said she rarely saw the couple in public and never saw her son.

"We very rarely saw the husband and wife. The husband was fixing things in the yard and bringing packages and stuff," she said. "We are very surprised. We are scared. We feel sorry for them," she added.
