The victim was treated at Metropolitan Hospital. 


The deadly events began to play out at around 1:45 am on Dec 6. A man wearing a face mask and dressed in black walked into the Seafood King Fish Market and placed an order for food. He then left. Cops said the same man returned 10 minutes later and used the restaurant’s bathroom. At this time the victim was eating at the counter. 


A short time later, the man in black came out of the bathroom with a blue handgun and demanded cash from the register. He also demanded that the victim and the worker hand over their cell phones. The employee handed over what was in the register which the gunman placed in a bag. The cashier and the patron handed over their cell phones.


Investigators said the gunman told the worker to get down. He then fired point blank at the back of the diner’s head. 


The gunman ran out of the restaurant and fled on foot in an unknown direction.
