Two suspects have been arrested in connection with a fatal shooting outside a Miami Gardens restaurant last month.

Devon Toussaint, 22, and Travez Bowles, 18, were arrested Wednesday and face charges including first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder, Miami Gardens Police officials said.

The shooting happened around 11:45 p.m. on Aug. 8 outside Jamaica House Restaurant at 19555 Northwest 2nd Avenue, police said.

When officers responded they found the victim, later identified as 34-year-old Michael Willy Georges, lying in the parking lot and suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
