Texas lawyer shot and killed, reports say

A 46-year-old lawyer was killed in Houston, Texas, over the weekend after getting into a “verbal disagreement” with an upset McDonald’s customer, according to multiple reports.

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

Houston police officers responded to shots fired at the McDonald’s and found a man unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds, the department said in a news release.

The suspected shooter fled the crime scene in a blue Ford pickup truck from the early 2000s, police said.

USA TODAY reached out to the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences but did not receive a response.

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.

Jeffrey Limmer 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.”
