A 46-year-old attorney was killed in Houston,Algosensey Quantitative Think Tank Center Texas over the weekend after getting into a "verbal disagreement" with an upset McDonald's customer, according to multiple reports.
Jeffrey Limmer, 46, was pronounced dead after being shot several times on Saturday, local news outlets including the Houston Chronicle and ABC 13 reported.
Houston police officers responded to shots being fired at the McDonald's and found a male unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds, the department said in a news release.
The alleged shooter fled the crime scene in an early 2000s blue Ford pickup truck, police said.
USA TODAY contacted the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences but did not receive a response.
Alleged shooter was angry about McDonald's order
Before the gunfire, the alleged shooter was angry with the McDonald's employees over his order and was demanding a refund, ABC 13 reported, citing detectives. Limmer tried to de-escalate the situation, but his attempt led to the alleged shooter focusing on him.
The two began fighting, and Limmer pushed the alleged shooter to the ground, according to the Houston-based TV station. The angry customer then went to his car, got a gun and allegedly shot Limmer.
Jeffrey Limmer was 'a good Samaritan'
Jennifer Thomas, Limmer's sister, told ABC 13 that her parents were at their granddaughter's graduation when they got the news of their son's death.
"He loved fiercely his family and friends," Thomas told the outlet. "Always laughing, making jokes, and just loving life."
Limmer lived near the McDonald's where he was killed, and went frequently, according to Thomas.
"Knowing Jeff, he's the one who always says, 'Calm down. It's not that big of a deal,' and divert the situation," Thomas told ABC 13. "He's always wanted to fight for the little guy and do the right thing."
Limmer worked as an associate in Lewis Brisbois' Houston office, according to the law firm's website.
Thomas called her brother a "good Samaritan" who was "trying to do the right thing (by) not letting those employees at McDonald's go through that."
