NYC McDonald’s Worker Dead After Dispute With Customer

A McDonald’s employee in New York City died Wednesday after being shot Monday, following an argument over an order of cold French fries.

Matthew Webb, 23, was shot in the neck outside a McDonald’s in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, after the alleged killer’s mother got into an argument with staff there, when she complained about her order. The incident, which started inside the restaurant, spilled out into the street and down the block, resulting in gunshot.

Michael Morgan, 20, has already been charged with attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon. The charge will be upgraded to murder.

Morgan’s mother, Lisa Fulmore, told reporters that the McDonald’s staff laughed at her when she asked to speak to a manager about her order.

“I talked to my son with the cops. My son is just saying that he gotta do what he gotta do and the [victim] came after him and whatever happened, happened,” Fulmore told the reporters following her son’s arrest.  

Police say that Morgan has also been charged with the October 2020 murder of Kevin Holloman, 28, near the McDonald’s where Matthew Webb was shot. 

“We are heart-broken by the passing of our crew member as a result of this senseless act, and we are thinking of his family at this time,” Roy Iraci, the owner and operator of the McDonald’s location, said in a statement to Fox News.

Why was Morgan out on the street if he been involved in an October 2020 murder? 

Police say that while Morgan was being questioned over Monday’s shooting, he implicated himself in the 2020 murder in Brooklyn.
