The trial of Anthony Martin Landry, the man accused of the fatal shooting of attorney Jeffrey Limmer at a Houston McDonald's, began on Monday, reports Click2Houston. The incident occurred on May 4, 2024, and Landry faces charges for the murder of the 46-year-old attorney following a confrontation that escalated outside the fast-food establishment located at 8147 Katy Freeway.
Police informed that around 6 p.m., an argument unfolded after Landry, apparently dissatisfied with his order’s outcome, demanded a refund from McDonald's staff. In an attempt to defuse the situation, Limmer, employed by Lewis Brisbois law firm, stepped in. The confrontation, however, continued outside, where Landry was allegedly pushed to the ground by Limmer. According to police, Landry then retrieved a gun from his vehicle and fatally shot the attorney twice, FOX 26 Houston reports.
After the shooting, Landry left the scene in an early 2000s model blue Ford pickup truck. He surrendered himself to authorities on May 10 and was taken into custody at the Harris County Jail. The trial, which began at 9 a.m. Monday, is expected to unveil more details as courtroom proceedings continue.
Authorities did not immediately release the identity of the shooter, prompting a public appeal for information. The Houston Police Department urged anyone with knowledge of the incident to contact the HPD Homicide Division or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers, as investigators work to gather more evidence in the shooting at the Katy Freeway McDonald’s.
