Houston attorney shot and killed by McDonald’s customer outraged over order

A Houston lawyer, Jeffrey Limmer, was shot and killed by an irate McDonald's customer after attempting to calm the man down during a dispute over his order, according to police. The incident occurred around 6 p.m. on Saturday at a McDonald's on West Interstate Highway 10 service road. Limmer intervened when the customer demanded a refund from an employee, but the situation escalated into a physical altercation in the parking lot. Limmer reportedly shoved the customer to the ground, prompting the customer to retrieve a gun from his car and shoot Limmer before fleeing in a blue Ford pickup truck. Limmer was declared dead at the scene. No arrests have been made yet. Limmer's sister described him as someone who often tried to deescalate situations and help others. Limmer lived near the McDonald's and worked as an associate at the Lewis Brisbois law firm in Houston. His family praised his efforts to stand up for what he believed in.
