Details about a motive for the shooting were not immediately available, but police said the shooting victim appeared to be the target of a robbery. A witness told NBCLA she heard and argument followed by a gunshot.
"Everyone on the (restaurant) patio ran inside," the witness said.
Witnesses said the victim was at the restaurant but went outside -- possibly to retrieve something from his Lamborghini SUV parked on the side of the street. That's when the shooting occurred.
