BUFFALO (WBEN) - A 27-year-old man is now facing charges following Sunday afternoon's shooting at Allen Burger Venture that injured two people.
According to Buffalo Police Captain Jeff Rinaldo, two employees who worked in the kitchen got into a verbal altercation which then became a physical altercation. The fight spilled out from the kitchen into the back alley outside the restaurant.
"At one point, the suspect went into the employee locker room and retrieved a handgun," said Rinaldo. "He did fire one round, which struck the ground, and that bullet fragmented into two pieces, striking a second worker who was not a part of the altercation, as well as another individual who was not an employee of the restaurant."
While the suspect immediately fled the scene, Rinaldo said the Buffalo SafeCam Program and good police work, the suspect was identified quickly, and he surrendered Monday at Buffalo Police Headquarters.
Tysheim Evans has been charged with reckless endangerment as well as criminal possession of a weapon.
Rinaldo noted that the two victims are doing okay. When the bullet splintered, one victim was shot in the leg while the other victim was shot in the arm.
