The incident occurred around 6 PM on Saturday, drawing a swift response from the Houston Police Department.

According to reports, a customer at the McDonald’s became irate over an order, leading to a heated exchange with the staff. Limmer, who was present at the time, stepped in to de-escalate the situation. The dispute moved outside, where it escalated into a physical confrontation. After being pushed to the ground, the irate customer retrieved a gun from his car and shot Limmer twice before fleeing the scene in a blue Ford pickup truck from the early 2000s.
