A hail of gunfire erupted at a Queens barbecue early Monday — killing the party’s host and injuring another man, cops said.

Dowayne Henry, 20, was killed when a gunman showed up at his Jamaica home and began firing around 2:30 a.m., cops said.

Henry was shot in the abdomen and head and died at his home on 137th Ave. at 219th St., cops said.

A 25-year-old man was also struck in the back by a bullet and taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center in stable condition.

Neither man has prior arrests, a police source said.

The gunman, wearing a gray hoodie, took off east on 137th Ave.

Police who went to the home to investigate later in the day dug bullets from holes in the home’s facade.
