Unfortunately, this isn’t the first incident of violence at one of their establishments. 

In 2020, three people were shot after a man entered the Old Lady Gang restaurant and targeted another man. 

Two bystanders were also shot in that incident. All three victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
