An unknown man ran northbound on Alton Road moments after the incident, police said. One person, later identified as Wilson, was detained and later arrested.
According to an arrest report, the shooting was captured by surveillance cameras.
The footage showed the homeless man had been sitting on the ground outside the McDonald's when Wilson rode past him on a bicycle.
Wilson went into the McDonald's and rode past the victim again, and the two exchanged words, the report said.
A short time later, Wilson returned on foot, approached the homeless man who was still sitting, and shot him twice before fleeing, the report said.
Police responded and found the victim, who was shot in the neck and taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center in severe critical condition.
Later in the day, officers spotted Wilson, who was wearing the same shorts and shoes from the surveillance video, the report said.
Officers took him into custody and found a gun in his waistband, the report said. The ammunition in the gun matched the casings found at the scene, the report said.
