Disgruntled McDonald’s customer, 57, ‘who shot lawyer Jeffrey Limmer in Texas restaurant after asking him to stop yelling at staff’

• Anthony Martin Landry, 57, is charged with murder, according to Houston police

The angry McDonald’s customer who allegedly shot lawyer Jeffrey Limmer after he asked him to stop shouting at staff has been named as police continue to search for him.

Anthony Martin Landry, 57, is charged with murder following the shooting at a fast-food restaurant on a Texas highway, according to Houston police.

Jeffrey Limmer, 46, intervened when the customer began yelling at McDonald’s employees at the store at 8147 Katy Freeway, Houston, at 6 p.m. Saturday.

Limmer tried to calm him down, and as they argued outside the store, the angry man went to his car, pulled out a gun and shot the lawyer twice.

The shooter then fled the scene in an early 2000s blue Ford pickup. Police were called to the scene and found Limmer unresponsive and suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Landry reportedly has a lengthy criminal record and was out on $10,000 bond for aggravated assault at the time of the shooting.

He hit a family member with a stick in February, causing bodily harm, the New York Post reports, citing court documents.

His court appearance was scheduled for May 10.

According to reports, Landry previously faced multiple criminal charges for crack cocaine possession, felony eluding, and forgery.

Limmer was an associate at the Lewis Brisbois law firm in Houston after attending the University of Texas and then completing law school at the South Texas College of Law.

His family said in a statement obtained by Fox 26 Houston that they hope their loved one’s killer is arrested and that justice is served.

“Our family is relieved to learn that the suspect has been identified and we pray that he is arrested as soon as possible so that he cannot hurt anyone else.”

“In addition, we pray for the safety of law enforcement as they work to bring him to justice.”

“We thank the community for your overwhelming love and support and ask that you respect our privacy as we mourn the loss of our dear Jeff.”

“He always just wanted to fight for the little guy and do the right thing,” Limmer’s sister Jennifer Thomas told ABC7.

“He was just very steadfast in his beliefs and conservative in his values ​​and morals,” she added.

“He loved his family and friends very much. “Always laughing, making jokes and just loving life,” Thomas said.

According to his sister, Limmer lived near McDonald’s and went there often. She thinks he probably went to the fast food chain to run something.

She said he’s tried to help others his entire career, so she wasn’t surprised to hear he tried to help employees.

“Knowing Jeff, he’s the one who always says, ‘Calm down. “It’s not that big of a deal” and deflect the situation,” she said.

Houston police responded to reports of a shooting at a McDonald’s Saturday evening.

A customer at the restaurant was angry about his order and began yelling at employees, investigators told ABC7.

Limmer tried to calm the customer and diverted his attention from the staff. Then they started arguing and then arguing outside the store.

According to investigators, Limmer pushed the angry customer to the ground, causing the man to get up from the ground and run to his car before fatally shooting Limmer.

Limmer then ran back to the McDonald’s, where employees called paramedics.

His heartbroken sister said he was a “good Samaritan trying to do the right thing and not let the McDonald’s employees go through this.”

His friend Greg Monteverde told Fox26: “Using profanities and other profanities, Jeff intervened to de-escalate the situation and calm him down. “I thought it was brave. I respect it.’

“I think a lot of us knew Jeff was that type of person. “At school he would invite someone who wasn’t the most popular student to a party or something like that.”

He added: “He’s in heaven. “He’s looking down on all of us and saying everything’s going to be okay.”

Anyone with information about the case was asked to contact Houston police.
