Two men wanted in a fatal shooting near a Queens strip club were busted after a highspeed chase in Miami, police sources said Tuesday.

Krishon Hedge (below, left) and Brandon Lee (below, right) were wanted for questionin­g in the Oct. 1 killing of Jaquan Campbell, who was chased by masked gunmen from the Angels Strip Club in Flushing — the same club where rapper Cardi B allegedly ordered her entourage to rough up two bartenders.

On Monday, Lee and Hedge in a white BMW that zipped in and out of rush hour traffic led police on an almost 20-minute chase that started in Miami Beach, officials said.

Members of the New YorkNew Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force, which includes NYPD members and U.S. marshals, helped take the men into custody.

The Miami office of the U.S. Marshals Service got a tip that the two men were in the area Monday.

When cops tried to pull them over, the men in a white BMW raced through stoplights and drove on the wrong side of the street trying to get away until they got bogged down in traffic.

Two other people were in the vehicle with Lee and Kirshon, but were let go when it was determined they had nothing to do with Campbell’s murder or any other crimes.

U.S. Marshals Assistant Chief Manny Puri described Lee and Hedge as “high-level gang members in New York City.”

Campbell was partying at Angels Strip Club on College Point Blvd. when he got into an argument and drove off with his girlfriend, cops said.

Another vehicle gave chase, ramming the rear of his car several times, and he pulled over in the parking lot of College Point Cinemas, cops said, where four men in masks jumped out and riddled the car with bullets.
