The first individual was discovered deceased in the parking lot, while another succumbed to their injuries at a hospital. In addition, four men and one woman were also hit by gunfire. They were transported to hospitals for medical attention in private vehicles. No updates have been given regarding their current medical condition.
On another note, it was reported that Gotti was not present during the incident, and the culprit(s) are currently still unknown at this time.
This is not the first time the restaurant has been in the middle of gun violence. In 2021, Prive temporarily closed its doors out of fear of retaliation following the murder of rapper Young Dolph. For a while, the restaurant hired armed security to stand outside of the building but nothing occurred.
