Gunman in McDonald’s shooting charged in multiple cases after cold fries spat
The man who allegedly shot a Brooklyn McDonald’s worker in the neck during a heated spat over cold fries was charged with attempted murder and slapped with another murder rap for a separate 2020 slaying, cops said Wednesday.
Michael Morgan, 20, was taken into custody shortly after the Monday night shooting outside the eatery at 1531 Fulton St. in Bedford-Stuyvesant and was charged late Tuesday with attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon, authorities said.
On Wednesday, he confessed to the Oct. 2020 killing of Kevin Holloman, who died from three gunshot wounds in front of a Herkimer Street building in Bed-Stuy just blocks from the McDonald’s at the center of Monday’s shooting, police sources said.
He was hit with murder and possession of a loaded firearm raps from the previous slay, cops said.
When Morgan was walked out of the 79th precinct Wednesday afternoon, wearing a mask, ripped jeans, Air Jordan sneakers and a designer Amiri hoodie worth about $800, he kept his head down and refused to answer questions from reporters.
Three supporters were there to greet him outside of the precinct and told reporters that Morgan was “innocent” and will soon “be out on bail.”
“If somebody attacks someone’s mom, then what do you expect to happen?” one of the supporters said.
The 23-year-old victim, Matthew Jeremiah Webb, was working at the fast-food joint around 7 p.m. Monday when Morgan’s mother began hassling him over her fries, a high-ranking police source said.
The woman was FaceTiming her son during the argument — prompting him to storm into the restaurant and fight with the employee, the source alleged.
“The mom complained that her fries were cold,’’ the police source said. “The mom was on FaceTime with her son, and he heard the dispute between her and the clerk. The son and the clerk got into a dispute inside, and it went outside.”
That’s when Morgan allegedly whipped out a gun and blasted the worker in the neck, cops said.
Camellia Dunlap, 18 — identified as Morgan’s girlfriend — was also charged with two counts of criminal possession of a firearm for allegedly handing her beau the gun, police sources said.
The victim remained in critical condition at Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center Wednesday morning, police said.
Morgan’s mother, Lisa Fulmore, 40, told The Post exclusively Tuesday that her son was defending her after she was heckled by the fast food workers for complaining about the cold fries.

“My son is just saying that he gotta do what he gotta do and the [victim] came after him and whatever happened, happened,’’ she said.
Law enforcement sources said the victim had no prior arrests and there is no indication he was carrying a weapon when he was shot.
Morgan has been previously arrested several times, including for grand larceny in 2019 and assault and theft of service in 2018, police sources said.
