CINCINNATI — Cincinnati police have arrested a man for allegedly shooting a 41-year-old to death inside the Shake Shack near the University of Cincinnati Wednesday night.

Antwoine McCants, 54, has been charged with the murder of Christopher Stallworth, who police said was shot in the chest.

According to court documents, Stallworth and McCants got into a verbal argument "which stemmed from a parking conflict" at the restaurant on Calhoun Avenue.

Court documents say Stallworth was allegedly shot inside the Shake Shack with numerous other patrons nearby.

"At the time of the shooting the victim had both his hands in his pockets and retreated when McCants displayed his hand gun," reads the court document.

Police said they learned this from speaking with witnesses and viewing video footage, which showed the shooting.

McCants allegedly told officers that when he fired the gun, he did not believe Stallworth had a weapon on him.

Stallworth was taken to UC Medical Center, where Cincinnati police said he died from his injuries.

Anyone with information can call the Cincinnati Police Department's Homicide Unit at 513-352-3542.

The CUF Shake Shack, the chain's second restaurant in Greater Cincinnati, opened in the former location for the Keystone Bar & Grill in March. It's next to multiple other casual food options, including Currito, Bibibop, Raising Cane's and more.
