Upset With His Order, Irate McDonald’s Customer Kills Lawyer
The lawyer intervened when the irate customer got into a heated argument with the employee over a refund.

An irate customer shot dead a lawyer at a McDonald’s outlet in Houston, capital of the US state of Texas, as he was upset over his order. The 46-year-old attorney, identified by family as Jeffrey Limmer, tried to intervene when the customer demanded a refund and got into a heated argument with the outlet’s employee. The incident happened at the McDonald’s located on West Interstate Highway 10 service road on Saturday.

The gunman did not calm down when the lawyer intervened and turned his focus from the employee to the lawyer. The pair began to argue and the altercation escalated to full-blown physical altercation as the two went to the parking lot.

Limmer, the lawyer, shoved the man to the ground but he got up, retrieved a gun from his car and shot Limmer before fleeing in a blue Ford pickup truck.

Limmer was declared dead at the scene. Police said they are yet to make arrests.

“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, was quoted as saying by ABC 13. “He’s always wanted to fight for the little guy and do the right thing,” she further added.

Limmer lived near the McDonald’s in whose parking lot he was shot dead and often ordered from the location, Jennifer Thomas said.

The lawyer attended the University of Texas and received his law degree from South Texas College of Law and worked as an associate at the Lewis Brisbois law firm in Houston.

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

She said that she is not surprised that her brother was trying to calm the man down who later killed him and said he spent his entire life helping others.

She also said she is proud that her brother stood up for the right thing.
