A DJ was fatally shot and another man wounded when gunfire erupted at a Brooklyn house party Wednesday, officials said.

Officers responding to a 1:55 a.m. ShotSpotte­r activation found Jomo Glasgow, known by friends and colleagues as DJ Trouble, shot in the upper body outside the home on E. 49th St. near Church Ave. in East Flatbush, cops said. ShotSpotte­r is the NYPD’s system of hightech audio sensors designed to detect gunfire.

Medics rushed Glasgow, 35 (inset), to Kings County Hospital, but he could not be saved.

Around the same time, a 30year-old man showed up at the same hospital with a gunshot wound to his buttocks. Cops later determined he was also at the party when the shooting took place.

Glasgow’s heartbroke­n relatives didn’t want to speak to reporters Wednesday.

But his childhood friend, Imhotep Lewis, 36, said he doubted Glasgow was the intended target. “I was told it was a barbecue and he attended it. The last thing I heard is that he was walking to his car to go home and that happened.” Lewis said. “I haven’t slept since then. This is somebody that I speak to several times a day. Every single day. If I knew that he was going there, I would’ve told him to not go.”

They last spoke just after 11 p.m. Tuesday, and he said he mentioned going to a different gathering. “Next thing I get a phone call at 2:30 in the morning saying this is what happened. I could’ve even believe it.”

Glasgow was a father of two girls, and worked as both a welder and a DJ, his friend said. He’s been DJing since the ninth grade, Lewis said.

Police said both men were targeted by the gunman, who ran off. No arrests have been made.

Glasgow, who lived in St. Albans, Queens, had no arrests on his record. The other victim has four prior arrests, the most serious for grand larceny.
