Two men in their 40s were shot at a Brooklyn restaurant early Thursday and one later died, law enforcement sources say.
The Brownsville gunfire erupted at the intersection of Strauss Street and Lott Avenue around 8:30 a.m., according to the sources. They said the victims were shot inside or in front of Miguel's, a West Indian restaurant that has been under renovation for about a month.
Security video from a nearby business shows how the attack went down, with two men entering the restaurant. Shortly after, a man in a black sweatshirt and another man in a gray sweatshirt walk in and open fire.
A sprawling law enforcement presence was evident at the scene a short time later, Chopper footage shows. Multiple police officers were seen blocking off the intersection where the shooting happened as others canvassed the scene.
