The Houston Police Department identified the man wanted in connection with the killing of a local attorney at a McDonald’s over the weekend.
Anthony Martin Landry, 57, is wanted for murder in the shooting death of 46-year-old Jeffrey Limmer, the department said.
Officers responded to the McDonald’s at 8147 Katy Freeway at about 6 p.m. on May 4 after receiving reports of a shooting. When they arrived at the fast food restaurant, they found an unresponsive man with multiple gunshot wounds.
The man, who was pronounced dead at the scene by Houston Fire Department paramedics, was later identified as Limmer.

Limmer was shot after he tried to deescalate a situation between an angry McDonald’s customer and the employees, police told FOX 26 Houston. The angry man, who was identified as Landry on Wednesday, allegedly went to his car, grabbed a gun and shot Limmer.
He then fled the scene in an early 2000s blue Ford pickup truck, Houston police said.

Jurors deliberating the fate of the man accused of starting the Palisades Fire, one of the most destructive wildfires in California’s history, failed to reach a verdict Thursday afternoon, telling the judge they were deadlocked.
A spokesperson from the United States Attorney’s Office told KTLA that jurors will continue to deliberate until they reach a verdict or give up.
Jonathan Rinderknecht, 30, a former Uber driver and one-time Pacific Palisades resident, is accused of starting the Lachman Fire on New Year’s Eve. The fire continued to smolder underground for about a week, even after Los Angeles firefighters believed it had been extinguished.
Flames reignited on Jan. 7, erupting into the deadly Palisades Fire that killed 12 people and destroyed thousands of homes in the upscale community, authorities said.

Prosecutors argued that Rinderknecht deliberately set the fire, claiming he had grown increasingly resentful of wealthy residents and viewed Pacific Palisades as a symbol of that frustration.
“Their case, though circumstantial, is strong,” KTLA legal analyst Alison Triessl said. “The defense is relying on, can they (prosecutors) show beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Rinderknecht actually started this fire and it wasn’t the result of fireworks or some intervening cause.”
The defense argued there is no direct physical evidence tying Rinderknecht to the fire and said the prosecution’s case relies entirely on circumstantial evidence. Rinderknecht did not testify during the trial.
Defense attorney Steve Haney spoke outside the courthouse Wednesday about why he believes it will be difficult for prosecutors to prove how the fire started.
“The lack of scene preservation. The fact that they got there after a lot of the evidence was missing. Not a lot of direct evidence. This is a circumstantial case, which is always difficult as a prosecutor to prove,” Haney said.
Rinderknecht, who was arrested and indicted last October, faces up to 45 years in prison if found guilty of three arson counts, including destruction of property by means of fire, arson affecting property used in interstate commerce and timber set afire.
