NEW YORK -- The NYPD is looking for two suspects wanted in a deadly shooting at a Brooklyn restaurant.

One man was killed and another was critically wounded.

The incident happened on Thursday morning in Brownsville, CBS2's Dave Carlin reported.

Police collected evidence and worked the scene on the sidewalk and inside that restaurant.

Surveillance video shows men in their 40s who investigators say worked in the restaurant with a yellow awning. Moments after they walked in, they were ambushed.

The victims were followed by a pair of suspects who walked up, paused briefly in the front of Miguel's West Indian Restaurant on Strauss Street, and then gunfire shattered the glass and struck both men inside.

A woman who asked CBS2 not show her face said she was jolted awake at around 8:30 a.m.

"I was actually sleeping and I heard it and I thought I was dreaming. Then I popped up my head and I heard the rest of the bullets was going. Then I come outside and I see the commotion outside," she said.

Both men were shot multiple times. A 46-year-old died at the hospital and a 45-year-old was wounded and expected to survive.

The suspects fled in a black SUV.

Police made no arrests and the motive is unclear.

"It's always bad and I feel for the family, people that is left behind," another woman said.

Neighbors say the restaurant has not been open for weeks, with the door almost always closed and what appeared to a renovation going on inside.

At least 17 yellow evidence markers were seen both inside and outside the business where the shooting took place.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). You can also submit a tip via their website or via DM on Twitter, @NYPDTips. All calls are kept confidential.
