Last night around 10:00pm, a male leaving the popular Benihana Japanese restaurant in the Buckhead section of Atlanta was shot once in the buttocks by another male assailant police have yet to identify.
According to the police report, witnesses state that a group of them were leaving the restaurant when a male individual approached the group and shot one of the individuals in their party as he attempted to reenter the restaurant.
The shooting victim was later transported to Grady Hospital where he is in stable condition.
The suspects fled in a tan Dodge Charger and were last seen traveling northbound on Peachtree Road.
Buckhead, more commonly known as the “Beverly Hills of the East,” is known for its upscale and chic community. Full of luxury shopping, luxury condos, fine dining, lavish hotels and excellent art galleries, Buckhead is the place for locals and tourists alike to indulge themselves in all the splendid things Atlanta has to offer.
So when a crime occurs in a neighborhood of the caliber, the community is on full alert mode and the police tend to solve the crime very quickly.
