Man arrested in connection with Houston lawyer’s murder charge at McDonald’s

HOUSTON – A man has been arrested after being charged with murder following a fatal shooting at a McDonald’s off the Katy Highway that left an attorney dead last week.

Houston police arrested Anthony Martin Landry, 57, on Friday after he was charged with murder on May 9. Landry was also charged with aggravated assault against a family member, court documents released after his arrest reveal.

He is currently being held in the Harris County Jail and has been denied bail.

The shooting occurred on the 8147 Katy Freeway (West Interstate Highway 10) around 6 p.m. on May 4, according to the Houston Police Department.

Houston Fire Department paramedics responded to the scene and pronounced the man, later identified as Jeffrey Limmer, 46, dead.

The suspect fled the scene in a blue Ford pickup truck from the early 2000s.

Police at the scene said the suspect, now identified as Landry, was unhappy with his order, wanted a refund and was arguing with staff. Court documents report that Landry also called employees racial slurs and other vulgar remarks.

Limmer allegedly tried to calm down the angry customer, but the customer instead turned his attention to him.

The argument led the two men to go outside and police said Limmer pushed the angry customer to the ground and went back inside.

After that, investigators say the suspect grabbed a gun from his car, opened the restaurant door and shot Limmer twice before leaving the scene.

Limmer was an attorney with the Lewis Brisbois law firm.

Court documents also revealed that Landry had a criminal history dating back to 1997, which included charges of evading arrest and forgery.
