“We believe the offender was inside eating at which time he became involved in a verbal altercation with an employee,” Police Capt. Nicholas Brown said to CBS. “The offender produced a large handgun and fired, striking the complainant several times.”

Police said that the suspect may have become angry when restaurant workers began cleaning nearby tables as he was eating, NBC reported.

Police described the suspect as a black man between the ages of 50 and 60 who was wearing a black Fedora hat, glasses, a black trench coat and black pants.
