Brown fled from the scene in a black BMW, possibly accompanied by an accomplice, police said.
Police said Sunday that Brown is also suspected of shooting to death Albert Thao, 27, while he dined with a companion in a Thai restaurant on September 12 in Fresno, California. They said the suspect, later identified as Brown, was seen leaving the scene in a gray Dodge Charger.
