A Queens man was shot to death and his body dumped in the street two blocks from his home Wednesday, police said.

A passerby spotted the corpse of 19-year-old Jay Patel at 268th Street and 83rd Avenue in Glen Oaks at about 1 p.m. and called 911, authorities said.

Patel had been shot once in the stomach, said police.

The body was taken to Long ­Island Jewish Hospital, authorities said.

At least two suspects believed to have dumped the body were seen fleeing the scene in a red Toyota Camry, police and witnesses said. No arrests had been made by early Thursday.

Patel had several sealed arrests for minor drug offenses, a police source said, but a motive in the slaying was not immediately known.
