A fast food employee who spent several days this week on life support after being shot outside a Brooklyn McDonald’s has died, according to several local news reports which cite the New York Police Department and Manhattan prosecutors.
Matthew Webb, 23, was declared braindead after the shooting, according to the New York Daily News. New York City ABC affiliate WABC-TV said Webb died Wednesday, but New York City television station WPIX-TV said the police didn’t confirm his death until Friday.
Prosecutors are expected to file murder charges against alleged gunman Michael Morgan, 20, the Daily News added.
The disagreement between Morgan and Webb reportedly erupted around 7:00 p.m. Monday after Morgan’s mother complained about being served a batch of cold french fries. The New York Post reported that the mother, Lisa Fulmore, asked to speak to a manager at the establishment. She was reportedly in the midst of a FaceTime conversation with Morgan during her attempt to complain about the temperature of her food; when she was laughed at in response, Morgan took it upon himself to go to the restaurant in question, the Post said.
An ensuing argument reportedly spilled onto the sidewalk outside. Surveillance video reportedly shows Morgan beating Webb before shooting the victim in the neck.
Fulmore reportedly told the police that her son said “he gotta do what he gotta do.”
