The McDonald’s near Pennsylvania Station is a magnet for addicts, those undergoing methadone treatment around the corner and dealers looking for easy prey. It was there, at a table around 6 a.m. on Monday, that three men who found common bond in their addictions sat for coffee and spoke with another man, dressed in a sweatshirt. Minutes later, the fourth man opened fire on the group.


As they fled into an Eighth Avenue subway station and into the rush of commuter traffic, all three were struck. Angel Quiñones, a 43-year-old father who battled a long addiction to heroin, died at the scene. His two coffeemates were taken to Bellevue Hospital Center: William Lamboy, 45, shot in the neck and abdomen, and Eddie Torres, 48, shot in the leg.
