Man dies after shooting inside hibachi restaurant in Brockton

BROCKTON, Mass — A man has died after a shooting inside a hibachi restaurant in Brockton Friday night, investigators say.

The man suffered the gunshot wound inside the Hibachi Sushi Supreme Buffet on Crescent Street around 7:25 p.m., according to a Brockton police spokesperson.

The man was later pronounced deceased, according to a spokesperson with the Plymouth County District Attorney’s office.

A woman told Boston 25 reporter John Monahan that she was eating dinner with her family when a masked man walked in and shot the victim sitting at a table. She says everyone inside the building buildings started to scream, panic and hide under tables before streaming out of the restaurant.

Investigators could be seen wrapping yellow crime scene tape around several columns outside the restaurant shortly after 8:00 p.m.

The shooting frightened Satiz Patel, who works at a liquor store next door.

“It’s pretty scary I guess,” said Patel. “This plaza is super busy usually– it’s pretty safe. I’ve never worried about it until 10 o’clock at night. It’s pretty safe.”

Police also set up crime scene tape around a car in the parking lot.

No one else was injured in the incident.

Brockton police and Massachusetts State Police Detectives with the Plymouth County District Attorney’s office are investigating the incident.

Boston 25 News has reached out to the Brockton Mayor’s office for comment.
