The accused child molester snuffed out during a gun battle with the law at a West Village smoke shop was turned in by his boss.

Steve Zhik, who owns Smoking Culture on W. Fourth St., alerted cops that Charles Mozdir was working as a salesman at his store after seeing an episode on CNN’s new series “The Hunt” about the wanted man, sources said.

The "owner of the smoke shop saw the show, called (the) hotline," a police source said.

When NYPD Det. Mario Muniz and two U.S. Marshals arrived Monday at the West Village store, Mozdir opened fired, wounding the three lawmen.
