It's believed he may be from Braddock.
A woman was also nearby when the shooting happened. She may have been with the victim, but sources say neither one is being cooperative.
One witness said he was eating dinner when he heard a couple of pops. He said he knew right away it was gunshots, and everyone began to duck for cover.
"I actually saw the hostess duck down, and then I saw one of the waiters duck down, and it's just scary, you know, a lot of little kids were in the back of the restaurant," said witness Richard Barkley, of West Mifflin. "It's a shame."
Police from Homestead, West Homestead and Munhall responded to the scene.
Officials with The Waterfront released a statement on the incident. It says after the incident, the area was put on lockdown, but that has since been lifted.
The full statement reads: "An incident occurred at approximately 10 p.m. on Friday at The Waterfront. Police believe this was isolated and we are no longer on lockdown.
