Houston Police said it happened around 6 p.m. Saturday at the McDonald’s located at 8147 Katy Freeway.

According to police, the shooter was dissatisfied with his order, wanted a refund, and was arguing with the staff. Limmer reportedly tried to calm down the irate customer, but instead, the customer turned his attention toward him.

The argument led both men to end up outside, and police said Limmer pushed the angry customer to the ground. After that, investigators say the suspect grabbed a gun from his car and shot Limmer twice before driving away from the scene.

Police described the gunman’s vehicle as an early 2000s blue Ford pickup truck.

Police said Limmer ran back into the restaurant after he was shot and paramedics were called. Limmer succumbed to his injuries.
