Two men have been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of 22-year-old Joe Araujo at a restaurant in Brockton. The incident took place at the Hibachi Sushi Supreme Buffet on Crescent Street on Friday night. Surveillance video captured a man entering the restaurant, brandishing a gun, and firing at around 8 p.m. The gunman fled the scene as patrons scrambled for safety. The disturbing video also showed a child sitting directly across from the victim at the time of the shooting.
Law enforcement officials have not disclosed the identities of the two suspects taken into custody on Monday. They are set to be arraigned in Brockton District Court on Tuesday. According to police, the shooting was a targeted attack.
