Texas lawyer shot and killed after fight at Houston McDonald’s: reports

An attorney was shot and killed at a Houston McDonald’s over the weekend after getting into a “verbal disagreement” with a client, according to multiple reports.

Jeffrey Limmer, 46, was pronounced dead after being shot multiple times Saturday, the Houston Chronicle and ABC 13 reported.

Here’s what we know.

Suspected shooter was angry over McDonald’s order

Before the shooting, the suspected shooter was angry at McDonald’s employees over his order and demanding a refund, ABC 13 reported, citing detectives. Limmer attempted to defuse the situation, but his attempt caused the suspected shooter to focus on him.

The two men began fighting and Limmer pushed the suspected shooter to the ground, according to the Houston-based television station. The angry customer then went to his car, got a gun and allegedly shot Limmer.

McDonald’s shooting victim was ‘a good Samaritan’

Jennifer Thomas, Limmer’s sister, told ABC 13 that her parents were at their granddaughter’s graduation when they learned of their son’s death.

“He loved his family and friends fiercely,” Thomas told the outlet. “Always laugh, make jokes and love life.”
