A gunman opened fire inside a Brooklyn laundromat Monday morning, killing a 41-year-old customer and grazing a second man, police said. 
The killer unleashed a barrage of bullets inside Xpress Laundromat on Utica Ave. near Avenue J in Flatlands about 8 a.m., cops said. 
"He just came in, he shot, and he left the place  less than 10 seconds," said Sufyan Alahmadi, 30, the laundromat's manager, describing video surveillance he viewed. 
"No conversations. 
He just did the thing and he left." 
Kevon Lee was fatally blasted in the chest and stomach. 
The shooter also grazed a 68-year-old man in the foot, cops said. 
Medics rushed Lee to Kings County Hospital, where he died half an hour later. 
He lived about half a mile from the laundromat. 
Alahmadi said the slain victim and a women were doing their laundry moments before he was shot. 
"I'm shocked," he said. 
"I'm gonna have to worry. 
Everybody has to worry." 
The grazed victim was taken to Mount Sinai Brooklyn and is expected to recover. 
The shooter ran off and has not been caught. 
He was wearing all black, including a black mask, police sources said. 
"I never even saw the guy come in," a customer who declined to give her name said of the shooter. 
"He didn't yell anything. 
I just heard the shots and I picked my head up. 
First time hearing gunshots at close range. 
He was by the dryers." 
"I looked up, saw the gun and ran," she added. 
"I was thinking of nothing but to just save my life." 
Another customer, who also declined to give her name, said about 10 people were using the laundromat when she stepped out to get coffee up the block. 
"By the time I got coffee, not even five minutes, the shooting happened," she said. 
"When I got back he was bleeding out  The first cop that arrived ran inside and tried to resuscitate him." 
"He was folding clothes when I was inside earlier," she said of the slain man. 
"When I came back his partner was screaming  The woman he was with was devastated and crying." 
"I always go to this laundromat," she added. 
"I lived over here over 20 years I never seen anything like this I never experienced something like that." 
Cops recovered ballistic evidence from the laundromat as they probe the shooting.
