Police are looking for the person who they say shot and killed a 32-year-old-man inside a Chinese restaurant in the Rockaways Monday afternoon.

Investigators say the man was shot several times in the head while getting something to eat at the restaurant in Arverne.

Friends tell NY1 the man has an 11-year-old son and had just moved back to New York from Virginia.

"I lived here. I moved out of here four years ago. It's very dangerous. You cannot sleep. The bullets are always flying through the windows. You cannot let your kids outside," said Sandra Trammell, a family friend. "This is very dangerous here."

Anyone with information about the case is being asked to contact Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-577-TIPS, by texting TIP577 to CRIMES, or by going to NYPDCrimeStoppers.com.
