An argument that began inside a midtown Manhattan McDonald’s restaurant early Monday erupted in gunfire at the steps of a nearby subway entrance when a gunman shot three men, one fatally, near Penn Station, authorities said.
Arcona allegedly lured three men out of a McDonald’s Monday after telling them that they were not welcome on his crew’s drug dealing territory, sources said.
The man was using an alias when he walked into Bronx Lebanon Hospital at 4 a.m. seeking medication and a psychological evaluation.
Quiñones, a father to a 13-year-old boy, died at the scene, police said.
When the victims left and headed into the subway station, the suspect followed them, police said.
The gunman later shot and killed a 43-year-old man and wounded two other men just after 6 a.m. Monday at the entrance to the 34th Street-Penn Station A, C and E subway stop, at West 35th Street and Eighth Avenue, police said.
Friends of the victims said they were clients of a nearby methadone clinic, and clients of that clinic are known to frequent the McDonald’s, the official said. The third victim, a 48-year-old man, was shot in the right thigh and taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Hospital staff recognized him as one of the two men wanted in the Midtown shooting and called police. Both were taken to Bellevue Hospital Center, officials said.
