According to Houston police, Limmer was at McDonald's on I-10 at Chimney Rock around 6 p.m. Saturday when another man became irate at the workers. Limmer reportedly tried to deescalate the situation.
Investigators say the angry McDonald's customer grabbed a gun from his car and opened fire on Limmer, killing him.
The suspect then fled in a pickup truck. Police say the investigation has led them to identify Landry as the suspect in the case.
The family of Jeff Limmer said, "Our family is relieved to learn that the suspect has been identified, and we pray that he is apprehended as soon as possible so that he cannot hurt anyone else. Additionally, we are praying for the safety of law enforcement as they work to bring him to justice. We are grateful to the community for your overwhelming love and support, and we ask that you respect our privacy as we mourn the loss of our dear Jeff."
