Brooklyn McDonald's worker shot over cold French fries dies

A Brooklyn McDonald's worker who was shot Monday in a dispute over cold French fries has died.

The NYPD announced on Friday that 23-year-old Mattew Webb died at Brookdale Hospital on Wednesday and the case is now being investigated as a homicide.

Police say Michael Morgan, 20, was arrested soon after the shooting and was charged with attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon.  Police also arrested Camellia Dunlap, 18, and charged her with two counts of criminal possession of a weapon. 

It happened at a McDonald's on Fulton St. in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section.  A female customer, alleged to be Morgan's mother, got into an argument with Webb over the cold French fries.

The altercation ended up outside. The woman was apparently on a video chat with Morgan during the dispute.  Police say that Morgan arrived and shot Webb in the neck.
