Cops suspect a love triangle turned lethal in Brooklyn early Saturday morning.

A man was shot to death after an argument in an East New York basement apartment involving a woman who lived upstairs, police sources said.

Police sources identified the dead man as Mark Matthews, 42, of Canarsie, who was visiting friends in the two-family home when he got caught up in the deadly dispute.

Matthews was found faceup in the hall entrance by the stairs with a bullet in his chest just before 1 a.m., witnesses and cops said.
