A Brooklyn McDonald’s worker who was shot in the neck during an argument over cold french fries has died.
Matthew Webb, 23, succumbed to his injuries, the NYPD said, according to the New York Post.
The attack against Webb has been categorized as a homicide and there is an ongoing investigation into the events.
The shooting took place Monday, after 20-year-old Michael Morgan heard his mother complain about cold fries during a FaceTime call, the New York Daily News reported.
Morgan then went to the McDonald’s, where video surveillance showed that a man identified as Morgan punched Webb in the face and knocked him to the ground.
He then pulled his weapon and allegedly shot Webb in the neck.
Before Webb’s death was confirmed, Morgan was charged with attempted murder as well as criminal possession of a loaded firearm.
“The people are anticipating homicide charges in this case, given the victim is currently on life support,” Assistant District Attorney Luis Paternina said at Morgan’s arraignment on Thursday, the Daily News reported. “So, essentially, the victim’s family is waiting to make a difficult decision about taking the victim off life support.”
Those charges were expected to be upgraded even before Webb’s death, the Post reported.
However, in response to the whole incident, Morgan’s mom later told the police that her son simply told her that “he gotta do what he gotta do.”
Morgan’s girlfriend, Camellia Dunlap, has also been connected to the incident.
