A man was shot and killed Tuesday night as he was dining at an L.A. Live restaurant. Another restaurant-goer was injured.
The shooting took place inside Fixins Soul Kitchen, a restaurant at the downtown entertainment complex, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The incident was reported at 6:15 p.m. at the restaurant at 800 W. Olympic Blvd., near Crypto.com Arena.
LAPD Cmdr. Lillian Carranza said the preliminary investigation determined the gunman entered the restaurant where the two victims were separately dining. He shot a 43-year-old man, who collapsed on the ground, and a woman, who suffered a graze wound.
Carranza said the male victim was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His identity is being withheld pending notification of family. The female victim was treated at the scene.
The suspected gunman fled the scene in a white Honda, according to authorities. No arrests have been made.
Representatives for Fixins Soul Kitchen, which also has locations in Sacramento and Tulsa, Okla., issued a statement Tuesday night in response to the shooting.
