JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 Two 19-year-olds have been arrested in connection with a\u00a0fight-turned-shooting at a Jacksonville McDonald’s.<\/a><\/p>\n

Malik McKinnon, 19, is accused of shooting his older coworker, a man in his 20s, in the back of the Oceanway restaurant Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

According to witness accounts in the arrest report, a fight began after a coworker told Malik to go home. The confrontation reportedly grew physical and four people were eventually involved, including 19-year-old Malachi McKinnon.<\/p>\n

During the altercation, Malik shot the victim in the neck, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. He was alive, but left with critical injuries Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Malik McKinnon is charged with attempted murder and carrying a concealed weapon while underage, while Malachi McKinnon was arrested for illegally carrying a concealed weapon and destroying or concealing evidence.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re deeply saddened by this violent attack at our restaurant,” said Tom Lisante, the McDonald’s owner and operator, in a statement to First Coast News\u00a0Sunday. “We\u2019re keeping the victim and their loved ones in our thoughts and prayers and offering our full support to local law enforcement.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
