NBC6 obtained cellphone video of the moments after the shooting when a flurry of police arrived on the scene.

“I heard screams, the noise of commotion, and a couple of gunshots, and that’s when I went out to my balcony," said Rafael Pedroza, who shot the video.

The customer was taken to Ryder Trauma Center in stable condition, Miami-Dade Police said.

The employee, who was treated for a laceration, was detained and is being interviewed along with the second customer by detectives.
