A man was shot to death Sunday at a restaurant and bar in Brooklyn Park, police said.

The 21-year-oldman was shot several times shortly after 4 a.m. at Flava of Soul just off N. 85th Avenue and west of Hwy. 252 in the 8500 block of Edinburgh Center Drive, police said.

The victim died at a hospital. A second person "was shot at" but was not hurt, police said.

The suspects fled before officers arrived, and no arrests have been made as of late Monday morning, police said.

The shooting occurred outside the establishment, police Inspector Elliot Faust said. "We are investigating whether or not it was an after-hours gathering," he said.

Flava of Soul, which opened in December, posted on Facebook that it would be closed Sunday.
