Four suspects have been indicted in the 2019 execution-style slaying of a Queens businessman gunned down on a Flushing street, federal authorities said Tuesday.
The suspects, Qing Ming Yu, Antony Abreu, You You and Zhe Zhang, were each indicted in Brooklyn federal court for the early-morning hit on 31-year-old Xin Gu outside a karaoke bar on Fowler Street in the neighborhood.
Investigators believe Gu’s killing stemmed from a business dispute he had with his former boss at a Manhattan property development company, Qing Ming Yu, 54, according to the feds.
The victim left Yu’s company and started his own outfit, attracting several clients and employees from his former workplace, the feds allege.

You enlisted Abreu and Zhang, both 34, to help pull off the hit, according to federal authorities.
