The Brooklyn McDonald’s employee shot over cold french fries died of his wounds, authorities said Friday.
Matthew Webb, 23, succumbed to injuries he received after he was shot for allegedly making fun of a woman who was given cold fries more than once, according to a report.
Webb’s death “has been deemed a homicide,” the NYPD announced.

Michael Morgan, 20, and his girlfriend, Camellia Dunlap, 18, are both facing charges related to the shooting.
Morgan was charged with criminal possession of a weapon and attempted murder, and Dunlap was charged with two counts of criminal possession of a weapon, authorities said.
The former is now expected to face upgraded homicide charges, the report noted.
Morgan’s mother, Lisa Fulmore, said the incident took place after Webb and other McDonald’s employees made fun of her complaining over being served cold fries.
Fulmore, 40, told Morgan what happened, and he came inside the McDonald’s.
“He was like, ‘I’m coming in,'” Fulmore said. “So, he came in. He heard them saying stuff to me, so he was like, ‘You all gotta back off my mother.'”
He asked Webb to step outside.
Nothing happened immediately, but after about 15 minutes, the male employee asked Fulmore where her son had gone.
“He went looking for my son,” she said. “The next thing you know, maybe like 10 minutes later, you hear a gunshot. So, I ran to the door. I said, ‘Who’s shooting?'”
“I looked, and I seen a boy on the ground, and then I saw my son running the other way. I called 911, and then I sat there and waited.”
The victim had changed into a baggy shirt and might have had something under the shirt when he went looking for her son, Fulmore said.
“There was no reason for him to go outside looking for somebody,” she said, referring to Webb.

“Whatever happened outside, you caused that to happen.”
