Houston, Texas – A 57-year-old man with a history of criminal activity is the suspect in the fatal shooting of a Houston attorney at a McDonald’s following a dispute over an order. The incident occurred on May 4, and the suspect, Anthony Martin Landry, remains at large as of Thursday, as reported by the Houston Police Department. Landry faces a murder charge in connection with the death of the attorney, Jeffrey Limmer, who was shot multiple times during the altercation.
The confrontation began when Landry demanded a refund from McDonald’s workers, leading to Limmer’s intervention in an attempt to calm the situation. However, the encounter escalated, resulting in a physical altercation in the restaurant’s parking lot. Landry allegedly pushed Limmer to the ground, retrieved a gun from his vehicle, and fatally shot the attorney before fleeing the scene in a blue Ford pickup truck.
At the time of the shooting, Landry was out on a $10,000 bond for a previous felony aggravated assault charge. Court records revealed that he had a history of legal troubles dating back to the 1990s, including cases involving drug possession, evading detention, and forgery. Limmer’s family expressed their relief at the suspect being identified and urged law enforcement to apprehend him swiftly.
Described as a peacemaker by his sister, Limmer was known for his efforts to defuse tense situations and stand up for others. A dedicated attorney, he graduated from the University of Texas at Austin and worked at a law firm in Houston. Remembered as a music enthusiast and lover of the outdoors, Limmer leaves behind his family and beloved dog, Lola.
As the search for the suspect continues, Limmer’s family, colleagues, and the community mourn his loss and hope for justice to be served in his memory. The tragic incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of escalating conflicts and the importance of resolving disputes peacefully.
