Police in Massachusetts are searching for a gunman who reportedly opened fire at a busy hibachi restaurant in Brockton, leaving a young man dead in what police say was a targeted attack.
The victim, Joe Araujo, 22, was sitting among a crowd of other diners at the Hibachi Supreme Buffet on Crescent Street around 7:30 p.m. Friday when an armed man in a hoodie approached his booth, pulled out gun and put at least one shot through him at point-blank range, according to CBS News Boston.
The shooting caught on camera, which occurred just a few feet from a boy who had just sat down at a neighboring stall with a plate full of food, sent other customers running for the door.
Although police say the public should not worry, officers are on high alert and combing the area in a desperate search for the suspect.
“It’s terrible. I mean, you bring a kid to dinner and you don’t think something like that is going to happen,” John Monagle, a Brockton man who often eats at the buffet, told the station.

“I’ve never felt unsafe here,” Monagle said, adding that he was shocked by the savage violence.
Owners of neighboring stores at the Massachusetts mall told CBS they are taking precautions, even as police said they are safe.
“We started closing early,” Jacqueline Macedo, owner of a Brazilian store next door, told the network. “We have many cameras in all [over] the place.”
According to NBC Boston, no arrests have been made.
