The irate customer who allegedly killed a Houston attorney after he became upset over his McDonald’s order was identified as a 57-year-old with a lengthy rap sheet as he remained on the loose Thursday.
Anthony Martin Landry faces a murder charge in connection to personal injury Jeffrey Limmer’s death inside the fast food joint around 6 p.m. on May 4, the Houston Police Department announced.
Landry had demanded a refund from the workers at the McDonald’s located on Houston’s West Interstate Highway 10 service road before Limmer intervened.
Limmer attempted to calm Landry, 46, down, but soon the two men got into an argument that turned physical outside in the store’s parking lot, according to KTRK
Landry allegedly pushed the lawyer to the ground, retrieved a gun from his car and shot the lawyer multiple times.
The gunman fled from the scene in his early 2000s blue Ford pickup truck and remains at large, the police department noted.
Limmer was declared dead at the scene.
At the time of the shooting, Landry was on a $10,000 bond for felony aggravated assault after striking a family member with a cane on Feb. 17, 2024, causing bodily harm, according to court records viewed by The Post.
He was scheduled to appear in court on May 10.
In the 90s, Landry faced several criminal court cases for possession of crack cocaine, evading detention and forgery.
Limmer’s family hope their loved one’s killer is arrested and brought to justice for the lawyer’s death.
“Our family is relieved to learn that the suspect has been identified, and we pray that he is apprehended as soon as possible so that he cannot hurt anyone else,” Limmer’s family said in a statement obtained by Fox 26 Houston. “Additionally, we are praying for the safety of law enforcement as they work to bring him to justice.
“We are grateful to the community for your overwhelming love and support, and we ask that you respect our privacy as we mourn the loss of our dear Jeff.”
Limmer’s sister said she wasn’t surprised that her brother tried to calm down the angry customer before his death.
“Knowing Jeff, he’s the one who always says, ‘Calm down. It’s not that big of a deal,’ and divert the situation,” Jennifer Thomas, told ABC 13. “He’s always wanted to fight for the little guy and do the right thing.”
Limmer lived near the McDonald’s and often ordered from the location, his sister said.
He attended the University of Texas at Austin where he earned a bachelor’s degree in government with a minor in business and received his law degree from South Texas College of Law, according to his obituary.
He worked as an associate at the Lewis Brisbois law firm in Houston.
The lawyer was remembered as a lover of music and the great outdoors.
Along with his family, Limmer leaves behind his precious companion, Lola, a bulldog he rescued in 2020.
