The victim does appear to have been targeted by the shooting suspects.

Atlanta Police are investigating a shooting that occurred at Benihana restaurant in Buckhead just before 10:15 p.m. on Tuesday night.

Officers responded to the call of a person shot at 2143 Peachtree Rd at the Benihana restaurant at 10:15 p.m. on Tuesday, and upon arrival, found a man who appeared to have been shot once in the buttocks.

He was transported to Grady Hospital in stable condition. Two others received minor lacerations and did not require transportation to the hospital.

The preliminary investigation indicates that the victim was leaving the restaurant with a group of people when two suspects approached him. The victim attempted to reenter the location and was shot while in the doorway.

The suspects fled in a tan Dodge Charger and were last seen traveling north on Peachtree Road.

At this time no motive has been established, but it does appear that the victim was targeted by the suspects.
