BROOKLYN, N.Y. (PIX11) -- Police arrested a 19-year-old who allegedly shot two people outside a Brooklyn restaurant last year.
Christian Lewis, 19, was arrested and charged with attempted murder, two counts of assault, criminal possession of a weapon, and reckless endangerment, police said.
The incident occurred inside the Enigma Restaurant Lounge on Coney Island Avenue after two 19-year-olds, a man and woman, got into an argument with a group of people around 12:09 a.m. on Dec. 19, 2022, according to the NYPD. The argument spilled outside and things became physical when two of the suspects shot both of the victims inside their car, police said.
