A man has been arrested in a fatal shooting that took place earlier this week in the drive-thru lane of a McDonald's in Montgomery County.

The Montgomery County District Attorney's Office said Friday that 22-year-old Jonathan Walker was charged with first- and third-degree murder and other offenses in the Tuesday night slaying.

Prosecutors said Walker got into an argument with Marquis Johnson, 24, in a gas station adjacent to the fast food restaurant on the 200 block of West Main Street in Norristown shortly after 11:30 p.m..

After the two men left the gas station, Walker shot Johnson, authorities said.

Johnson, who was struck several times by the gunfire, was found slain in the McDonald's drive-thru lane.

Walker was being held without bail and faces a June 23 preliminary hearing.
