The incident happened shortly before 1:30 a.m. at Antojitos Mexicanos located at 3943 Davie Boulevard.
Fort Lauderdale Police said it appeared there had been a verbal dispute between the suspect and victim that led to the shooting.
Police later identified the victim as 54-year-old Socorro Camacho.
Mauro Bonilla wasn’t inside at the time of shooting but said he is a frequent customer of the restaurant and spoke to someone who witnessed the whole thing.
“Two guys got into an argument because one of them played a song [on the jukebox] and the other guy was kind of pissed off and insulted the guy,” Bonilla said.
The man by the jukebox playing the music then responded by pulling out a gun, Bonilla said.
Employees at the restaurant say after the shooting customers ran from inside the building and the shooter took off.
Police said no arrests have been made but their investigation was ongoing.
