A former European professional basketball player was fatally shot in a targeted murder Friday night at a packed Harlem basketball tournament, cops told The Post.

Kinu Rochford, a standout at Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey, was shot in the head at around 10:30 p.m. at the Kingdome Basketball Tournament in the Martin Luther King Jr. Towers on Lenox Avenue, police said.

Two other people were wounded when gunfire erupted, cops said.

“It sounded like a firework,” said witness Jessica Montgomery. “And then I heard it again and people started running.”

Rochford, 35, who was playing in the tournament, was shot while watching between games, according to cops.

The shooting stemmed from a squabble Rochford, of Brooklyn, was having with another man, a police source said.

The nature of the beef wasn’t immediately known, the source said.

Emergency responders gave CPR to Rochford, who lived in Crown Heights, and rushed him to Mount Sinai Morningside Hospital, but he couldn’t be saved, cops said.
