Police investigating the scene of a shooting at a West Indian restaurant located on Strauss Street at the corner of Lott Avenue in Brooklyn on Thursday October 27, 2022.

The gunman, dressed in black, appeared to be waiting for the victims when they arrived just before 9 a.m. Thursday to do renovation work at Miguel’s West Indian Restaurant in Brownsville.

He followed them inside the eatery at Strauss St. and Lott Ave. and opened fire, striking both victims multiple times, police said. The gunman remains on the loose.

Johnson had a wife and two children, his one-time superintendent told the Daily News.

“He was a cool guy,” said the 58-year-old super. “A good tenant. Just in and out. He say, ‘Hi, how are you doing?’ That’s it.”
