ONLY ON ABC13: Jeffrey Limmer's sister said her brother spent his career trying to help others and was one to "fight for the little guy." So it wasn't a surprise when detectives told her that's what he did in his final moments.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) --A suspect has been charged in connection with a 46-year-old attorney's death last weekend, according to the Houston Police Department.

The video above is from a previous report.

Anthony Martin Landry, 57, was charged with murder on Wednesday in the shooting death of 46-year-old Jeffrey Limmer.

Officers responded to a shooting at a McDonald's near the Katy Freeway at about 6 p.m. on Saturday, where police found Limmer unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

An investigation by HPD revealed that Limmer tried calming Laundry down, who was reportedly upset over his order and demanded a refund. Limmer and Laundry then got into an argument outside of the establishment before the suspect went and retrieved a gun and shot the attorney, before fleeing the scene in a blue Ford pick-up.
