Two suspects burst into a busy barbershop on Roosevelt Avenue and opened fire Friday evening — prompting community leaders to call for continued police action on the crime-infested Corona block.

The gang-related shooting rang out inside the Langumas El Cache Barbershop in Queens at around 5:45 p.m., surveillance footage showed.

The video captured them running into the barbershop before a heroic barber intervened, holding back a suspect in a white hoodie, while his accomplice ran to the back of the store and fired off a few rounds at an unknown victim.

The barber, Rafael Abreu, 47, was praised by community leaders Hiram Monserrate, a former local pol, and Ramon Ramirez-Baez of the Let’s Improve Roosevelt Avenue coalition, for disarming the gunman in a press conference from the barbershop Monday.

The bullet hole left by the gunman could still be seen at the back of the barbershop wall, leaving about an inch hole in the black tile. 

“What we saw here was a display of gang activity, and all of them were armed with guns. This barber right here, Mr. Rafael Abreu, is a hero,” Monserrate said.

Monserrate even told the barbershop to rename itself the “Barber Shop of Heroes on Roosevelt Avenue” and formally called upon Mayor Eric Adams to give Abreu a key to the city.

Both Monserrate and Ramirez-Baez successfully convinced Gov. Kathy Hochul to deploy New York State troopers in October to assist the NYPD with taking control of the sleazy stretch— an area nicknamed the “Market of Sweethearts.”

“We are dealing with armed, dangerous elements, gangs and cartels. That’s what we’re confronting on Roosevelt Avenue. That’s what we have in Queens. There’s no place as dangerous as Roosevelt Avenue, so we need the initiative to stay here for 90 days and beyond until our community has peace and safety.” Monserrate said, advocating for the state troopers to remain.

The shooting was deemed gang-related and the barbers were protecting a man who sought cover in their store, local officials said.

Abreu, who does not speak English, told his account of the shooting through a translator at the press conference.

“It was very emotional to me that I protected two people’s lives and that I defended my coworkers, who are my brothers,” he said.

Abreu described feeling “unsafe” at the barbershop for the past 6 years.

Neighborhood activists have decried Roosevelt Avenue as a corridor that had become an “urban crime zone” and home to “more brothels than bodegas.”

The Post has exposed the explosion of brothels and shoplifting along Roosevelt Avenue — a main thoroughfare that runs through Jackson Heights, Corona, Elmhurst and Woodside.

Brothels were spotted across the street from two public schools while illegal migrant open-air markets — where everything from women to stolen goods are sold — have plagued the area.

“I have seven kids. I’m a father of seven children. I don’t want to be a victim of all this crime … I was contemplating never coming back to work,” Abreu said
