[Oct. 5, 2006] Takoma Park detectives have arrested a Prince George’s County man on charges related to a shooting incident Oct. 1at a restaurant in the 7400 block of New Hampshire Avenue. Mischa A. Walker, 25, of 16th Avenue, is charged with two counts of attempted murder, two of first degree assault, and additional weapons charges
The investigation suggests a group of young men, some of whom are Takoma Park residents, approached the restaurant at about 3:30 a.m. and engaged in a verbal altercation with another man, Walker. He displayed a handgun, firing once outside and at least once inside the entryway to the establishment before fleeing in a car.
Two victims were treated at local hospitals. One was released the same day. The other remains hospitalized.
Nothing yet known suggests that incident is related to a Sept. 24 incident shortly after midnight. In that event, a group of about 20 young male diners entered into a food fight in the restaurant, with some physical punches also exchanged. During the commotion, the teens left the restaurant without paying for their meals. No physical injuries were reported.
