A McDonald’s worker tragically died after being shot in the neck by a customer because of cold French fries.
23-year-old Matthew Webb was rushed to hospital in critical condition after he was shot by Michael Morgan, 20, outside a McDonald’s in New York City.
Police confirmed that the worker has died after being declared brain dead.
According to reports, Webb was shot outside a McDonald’s in Bedford Stuyvesant after an argument with the gunman’s mother who was complaining about her cold order.
Surveillance footage shows Morgan punching the 23-year-old in the face. But when Webb tried to get up, the gunman shot him in the neck before running away from the scene.
The worker was found bleeding on the sidewalk and was rushed to hospital where he sadly passed away.
During Morgan’s arraignment, Brooklyn Assistant District Attorney Luis Paternina told Judge Inga O’Neale this week: “Your honor, the people anticipate a homicide charge on this case given the victim is currently on life support.”
It hasn’t been confirmed yet if the charge has been changed to homicide.
Speaking to the New York Post outside the hospital, Webb’s heartbroken mother said: “I’m really not ready for this. I’m just going back and forth with so many flashes in mind. My mind is not stable.”
Morgan had already been arrested numerous times, including for theft of service in 2018 and grand larceny in 2019. He also has multiple sealed arrest cases.
He is also alleged to have killed 28-year-old Kevin Holloman who was shot in front of an apartment building on Herkimer St. near Rochester Avenue.
Kevin’s sister Gardenia Holloman, 32, told the Daily News: “He was life of the party. All he did was dance and make you laugh, and he was loving and kind. He was a wonderful uncle to three little girls and he loved them.
“He was a mama’s boy. Him and my mom were very close. My mother passed away right after him. She died of a broken heart. It messed my mother up badly. She couldn’t take it.”
