A lawyer was shot and killed by an irate McDonald’s customer in Houston after he tried to calm the person who was upset over his order, in line with police.
The 46-year-old attorney, recognized by household as Jeffrey Limmer, tried to intervene when the customer demanded a refund from an worker on the McDonalds on West Interstate Highway 10 service highway at about 6 p.m. on Saturday.
Instead of calming down, the gunman then turned his consideration to Limmer and the pair started to argue.
The altercation turned bodily as the 2 went to the car parking zone, the place Limmer shoved the person to the bottom, cops stated.
The customer retrieved a gun from his automotive and shot Limmer earlier than fleeing in a blue Ford pickup truck.
Limmer was declared lifeless on the scene. No arrests have been made, police stated.
“Knowing Jeff, he’s the one who always says, ‘Calm down. It’s not that big of a deal,’ and divert the situation,” Limmer’s sister, Jennifer Thomas, told ABC 13. “He’s always wanted to fight for the little guy and do the right thing.”
Limmer lived close to the McDonald’s and typically ordered from the placement, his sister stated. He attended the University of Texas and acquired his regulation diploma from South Texas College of Law.
He labored as an affiliate on the Lewis Brisbois regulation agency in Houston.
Thomas stated she wasn’t shocked that her brother was attempting to placate the person who killed him, as he’d spent his complete life serving to others.
As his household waits for the shooter to be caught and delivered to justice, she stated they’re proud he stood up for what he believed in.
“A good Samaritan who is trying to do the right thing and not letting those employees at McDonalds go through that,” Thomas stated.
