A Houston attorney was killed in a shooting at McDonald’s and the alleged gunman is still on the run, police say.
The Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences identified Jeffrey Limmer as the man killed at the Houston McDonald’s on Saturday, May 4. Limmer was an attorney for Lewis Brisbois, according to the firm’s website.
The Houston Police Department says Limmer, 46, was killed by a man who fled the scene in a blue pickup truck.
Citing detectives, KTRK reported that Limmer was attempting to calm down an angry customer before an altercation ensued after the customer became upset with the attorney. Police said Limmer pushed the customer to the ground outside the store before the latter then got a gun from his car and shot Limmer, the outlet reported.
"He loved fiercely his family and friends," Limmer’s sister Jennifer Thomas told the station. "Always laughing, making jokes, and just loving life.”
Thomas also told KTRK that her family was proud that her brother was standing up for the McDonald’s employees and acting as a “good Samaritan.”
