A shooting happened at Blaze Seafood and Steak on Wednesday night.

Meanwhile, police are looking for the shooter who left before police arrived. 

The restaurant opened in 2020 and is named after the couple's daughter. They also own Old Lady Gang Southern Cuisine in East Point. 

Three people were shot in 2020 after a man entered the Old Lady Gang restaurant and targeted another man, East Point Police Capt. Allyn Glover said at the time. Two bystanders were also shot in that incident and all three victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries.  

Both restaurants have been featured multiple times on the Bravo reality TV show.
