Police are investigating after dispute led to a fatal shooting at a Mexican restaurant in Fort Lauderdale early Monday morning.

The incident happened shortly before 1:30 a.m. at Antojitos Mexicanos located at 3943 Davie Boulevard.

Investigators were also seen blocking off the area surrounding the restaurant with yellow tape while they conducted their investigation.
