Cops and US marshals grabbed a man wanted for a 2002 Brooklyn murder in Connecticut Tuesday – after local police had him a day earlier and let him go, authorities said.

Andre Neverson, 54, had been on the run since July, 2002, when police said he killed ex-girlfriend Donna Davis, 38, and his 39-year-old sister Patricia Neverson in consecutive days.

The fugitive, using a fake name, was busted on Monday for reckless driving by Bridgeport police, officials said.

But he made bail out before results of his fingerprints came back and showed him to be a double-murder suspect on the lam, law enforcement sources said.

Amazingly, Neverson didn’t use his day-long head start to get out of Connecticut – and he was arrested at 3:45 p.m. in the 500 block of Ogden Street in Bridgeport, officials said.

Officers from the Connecticut Violent Felony Squad, the New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force and US Marshals were all in on the arrest.

A rep for the Bridgeport police could not be immediately reached for comment.
