Police have arrested a suspect they say killed two men last year in a West Indian restaurant in Brooklyn, cops said Thursday.
Sawandi Galara, 46, was arrested Tuesday and charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon for the Oct. 27 murders of Eyon Johnson and Damien White, according to police.
The accused gunman was dressed in black and waiting for Johnson, 45, and White, 45, to arrive at Miguel’s West Indian Restaurant at Strauss St. and Lott Ave. in Brownsville around 8:50 a.m., cops said.
Galara followed the workers into the restaurant, who were renovating the eatery when he attacked them.
The man opened fire, striking both Johnson and White multiple times.
Medics rushed Johnson to Brookdale Hospital, but he could not be saved. White was taken to Kings County Hospital, where he died three days later.
White lived in East Flatbush and Johnson lived in Crown Heights, cops said.
Following an arraignment in Brooklyn Criminal Court, Galara, of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., was held without bail, records show.
