Prosecutors in Massachusetts charged two men in an execution-style murder at a busy hibachi restaurant that sent patrons scrambling.

Jamal Bazile, 18, the alleged trigger man, is charged with murder, possession of a firearm and ammunition and discharge of a firearm. Nathan Veiga, 22, who allegedly planned the attack, is charged with murder and accessory before the fact. Both pleaded not guilty on Tuesday and are being held in Plymouth County Jail without bond.

The Brockton Police Department responded to 911 calls about a shooting around 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Hibachi Sushi Supreme Buffet. Officers found 22-year-old Joe Araujo suffering from gunshot wounds in the abdomen and leg. Paramedics took Araujo to the hospital where doctors pronounced him dead.

Plymouth District Attorney Tim Cruz released surveillance video of the shooting on Saturday. It shows a man in a hooded jacket, believed to be Bazile, carrying a to-go box walk past a row of booths filled with people eating when he stops in front of Viega’s table, drops the box, pulls out a gun from his jacket and fires three times, hitting Araujo twice. Families that were eating around Araujo’s booth ducked for cover and ran away.

Investigators identified Brazile through his “distinct” jacket and shoes, Cruz said in a press release. Veiga was ID’d because he used his credit card in the restaurant.
