Police are probing whether a gun-toting migrant killed trying to rob an off-duty NYPD cop was part of the same moped crew that shot a border patrol agent last month, sources told The Post.

Lahione Soto, 30, an illegal immigrant from the Dominican Republic, was shot dead around 9:30 p.m. Sunday, about a month after another Dominican migrant was charged with shooting an off-duty Customs and Border Patrol agent in the face during an attempted robbery, seriously wounding him.

“They’re investigating whether it’s part of that group,” a law-enforcement source said Monday, noting both crimes involved the same robbery pattern, geographic area and M.O.

“They’re obviously looking to see if they’re part of that same robbery pattern involving the CBP agent shot,” the source said. 6
