Police say one person is dead following a shooting early Sunday morning outside a restaurant in Brooklyn Park.

The shooting was reported around 4:08 a.m. at Flava of Soul on the 8500 block of Edinburgh Centre Drive. Officers responding to the scene found one victim who had been shot several times and another person who had been shot at but was otherwise unharmed, according to the Brooklyn Park Police Department.

The victim was taken to the hospital but later died from their injuries.

Police say suspects had left the scene before officers could get there. No arrests have been made.

Neighboring businesses told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS during the day; the area is quiet and peaceful.

“It’s a nice and quiet neighborhood; people buy stuff and go,” said Mesfin Wordofa, owner of Marco Polo Pizza.

Wordofa is reeling in customers with the smell of the pepperoni down to the crispy crust at Marco Polo Pizza.

In Brooklyn Park, he opened up a year ago in a busy strip mall on Edinburgh Centre Drive.

“When people take the food and come back again, that’s my favorite part,” he said. “My reviews are good, and people like the food. I’m sticking around.”

Heather Wickre-Spates was picking up donuts steps away from where the shooting happened on Sunday.

“It’s unfortunate that violence is happening everywhere,” she said. “It makes me a little uneasy.”

Wickre-Spates spends a lot of time in Brooklyn Park. She said it’s important to stay vigilant wherever you go.

“Bullets and violence don’t discriminate. It can happen anywhere and at any time,” she said.
