NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - A shooting inside a restaurant in New Jersey's largest city has left a man dead.

But it's not clear what sparked the shooting, which authorities say occurred around 10 p.m. Sunday in the No. 1 Chinese Restaurant in Newark.

Witnesses say the shooter fired several shots before fleeing, including at least six bullets that riddled a window. It's not clear if the man killed was the shooter's intended target.

The victim's name has not been released. No other injuries were reported in the shooting.

The Essex County Prosecutor's office is leading the investigation.
