An argument between two men at a Little Havana restaurant took a violent turn over the weekend when one man shot another and then apparently killed himself.

This past Saturday, a man pulled a gun on another man inside Sabor Nica Restaurant at 49 NW 12th Ave. around 5 p.m., shot him in front of customers, and ran away. Investigators say the men had been arguing inside the restaurant.

According to CBS Miami, the man who was shot in the restaurant was pronounced dead at the scene.

The alleged shooter died on the way to Jackson Memorial Hospital after suffering self-inflicted gunshot wounds.

The names of the two have not been released, pending notification of their next of kin.
