A man wanted for a deadly shooting rampage has been nabbed after a week on the lam, authorities said yesterday. The Houston Police Department identified the suspect as Anthony Martin Landry, 57, pinning him with a murder charge for the killing of Jeffrey Limmer, 46, during an altercation at a restaurant on Katy Freeway on May 4. According to Houston authorities, Landry turned himself in last Friday and is now cooling his heels in the Harris County Jail.
Details about the deadly dispute have been sparse, but what is known paints a grim picture of the altercation culminating in gunfire; Limmer was found by HPD officers, unresponsive and riddled with bullets, the shooting transpired after what was only described as a verbal disagreement investigating officers H. Martinez and S. Chettrey told the press. Paramedics were summoned to the scene and they pronounced Limmer dead, and in the wake of the crime, the suspect fled in a blue pickup truck that had seen better days.
After an intense manhunt by detectives, Landry faced his fate under the law as he strolled into the HPD Edward A. Thomas Building to surrender himself — the decision came only three days after he was charged with murder as confirmed in the Houston Police news release. Landry's mug, now circulating in the public domain, marks him formally as the alleged shooter.
The case now lies in the hands of the 209th State District Court.
