Attorney Shot Dead at McDonald's by Customer Upset Over Order: Police

Share

A Houston lawyer was tragically shot and killed outside a McDonald’s on Saturday while attempting to defuse a heated argument between a disgruntled customer and the restaurant staff.

Jeffrey Limmer, 46, had tried to intervene and calm a disgruntled man who was upset over his order and demanded a refund from an employee at the McDonald’s on West Interstate Highway 10 service road, according to KTRK-TV.

Officers were called to the scene around 6 p.m.

Limmer’s attempts to deescalate the situation fell on deaf ears as things intensified, and he and the disgruntled customer continued to argue.

The confrontation escalated further when it moved to the parking lot, where Limmer reportedly pushed the customer to the ground, according to police.

The customer then allegedly retrieved a firearm from his vehicle and fatally shot Limmer before escaping in a blue Ford pickup truck.

Limmer was pronounced dead at the scene, the New York Post reported.

Is crime a massive problem in big cities?

As of now, no arrests have been made in connection with his shooting and authorities are still searching for the shooter.

“Knowing Jeff, he’s the one who always says, ‘Calm down. It’s not that big of a deal,’ and divert the situation,” his sister, Jennifer Thomas, told KTRK.

“He’s always wanted to fight for the little guy and do the right thing.”

Limmer was reportedly a familiar face at the McDonald’s near his home and had deep roots in the community, having been a quarterback for Memorial High School’s football team and an outfielder on the baseball team.

He graduated from the University of Texas and South Texas College of Law and worked at a local law firm.

Thomas said her parents were at her daughter’s graduation when they received the devastating news.

In the end, Thomas said she and Limmer’s family are proud he stood up for what he believed was the right thing to do.

“A good Samaritan who is trying to do the right thing and not letting those employees at McDonalds go through that,” Thomas said.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

 

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

 

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

 

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor
