A man partying at a trendy Queens strip club fled when he sensed trouble early Monday — only to be hunted down and fatally shot by a group of masked thugs in front of his girlfriend, law enforcement sources said.

Jaquan Campbell, 25, was celebrating a birthday with his gal pal and about 15 other people at Angels Strip Club in the wee hours when he told his girlfriend, “I feel like something bad is going to happen. Let’s leave,” according to law enforcement sources.

The pair hopped into her black 2017 Lexus, and he was driving them on the Whitestone Expressway service road when a black BMW SUV suddenly slammed their car from behind several times, police sources said.

The assailants — who had a machine gun and police scanner with them — then opened fire on the Lexus, sources said.

In an attempt to escape, Campbell sideswiped the BMW before zooming off into oncoming traffic, sources said. Then he pulled his banged-up vehicle into the parking lot of the College Point Multiplex Cinemas on Ulmer Street in Flushing, sources said.

Campbell — an ex-con who did two recent stints behind bars for burglary — was standing outside the Lexus surveying the damage to the car when four men in black ski masks jumped from the BMW, sources said.

One of the suspects fired a gun at him several times.

The attackers then pulled the man’s girlfriend out of her car before fleeing in their own vehicle and the couple’s Lexus, authorities said.

Both of the vehicles were later found nearby.

Cops found the machine gun, police scanner and a 9mm handgun near the shooters’ SUV, authorities said.

The victim’s car also contained firearms, police said.

Police sources said two female bystanders who were in a white BMW behind the Lexus on the Whitestone Expressway service road were nearly hit in the crossfire.

“I saw two young . . . ladies screaming: ‘Help me! Help me! Help me move my car!’ ” witness Paolo Sanchez, 26, told The Post.

“They were trying to reverse it.”

Sanchez noted that the car the women were riding in had several bullet holes.

“I was telling the girls, ‘You’re lucky . . . You could’ve been hit.’

“The girls were in shock,” he said.

The strip club where the victim had been partying before his murder is the same jiggle joint where rapper Cardi B and her entourage allegedly attacked two sister bartenders in a jealous rage in August.
