Man fatally shot inside Santa Fe Springs restaurant

From reporters Ruby Gonzales and Tim Traeger:

SANTA FE SPRINGS - A gunman escaped on a bicycle after shooting and killing a man who was ordering breakfast at a restaurant Thursday morning.
The incident occurred at 8:40 a.m. at Angelos Burgers #8, 9135 Norwalk Blvd.
The suspect entered the south entrance of the restaurant and fired several rounds at the victim who was at the counter, according to Whittier police spokesman Officer Mike Dekowski.
Dekowski said the victim, a Latino in his 30s, was shot several times, including once in the head. He died at the scene. Coroner's officials didn't release his name.
Witnesses said the shooter ran out of the restaurant and got on a BMX-style bicycle that was leaning against one of the patio tables. He was last seen heading northbound on Norwalk Boulevard.
The restaurant is located at Norwalk Boulevard and Los Nietos Road, a busy intersection in an industrial area.
Paul Graham, a foreman for VCI Telcom Inc., and three colleagues ate at Angelos Burgers just before the shooting. They were at the intersection Thursday doing work for Time Warner Cable.
They heard the shooting after they left Angelos. They returned to the restaurant.
"When we came in, he was lying on the ground. I checked if he had a pulse. He was gone," Graham said.
Graham said a woman working the counter was taken away in an ambulance.
"She lost it. It happened in front of her," he said.
Graham's co-worker, Ralph Flores, said he heard five shots. He also saw the suspect making his getaway.
"He looked scared. He looked really nervous," Flores said.
He described the suspect as Latino, with light brown hair, a pale complexion, 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall and about 180 to 190 pounds.
Sheriff's Sgt. Joe Reveles said the sheriff's Norwalk Station received a cell phone call apparently from a worker at the burger place saying that someone had been shot. They forwarded the call to the Whittier Police Department, which provides police services to Santa Fe Springs.
By midmorning, technicians were still processing the crime scene. One dusted a white Jeep SUV parked outside the restaurant for fingerprints.
Several people arrived shortly before the Los Angeles Department of the Coroner removed the body about 1 p.m. They identified themselves to detectives as relatives of the victim.
One of them said he didn't know what happened and declined further comment.
