Police were called to the restaurant on King Street, near Caroline, on Sunday evening for an altercation involving a group of males.
Before officers arrived, witnesses say a male pulled out a gun and fired a shot that hit the restaurant’s glass door.
Detectives say they arrested the alleged shooter on Monday in the area of Jackson Street West and Caroline Street South and allegedly found him with a firearm.
