Jury Sentences Anthony Landry to Life for Killing Attorney at Houston McDonald's

Jurors rejected self-defense claims, finding no mitigating evidence to lessen the punishment.

Overview

  • Landry will be eligible for parole after 30 years under the life sentence imposed Thursday.
  • The panel reached a guilty verdict in about 20 minutes and decided punishment in roughly 90 minutes after a four-day trial.
  • Prosecutors said the 2024 shooting followed a dispute over a botched double Filet-O-Fish order in which Jeffrey Limmer told Landry to leave and pushed him outside.
  • Witnesses testified Landry retrieved a gun from his car and returned to shoot Limmer, while the defense argued the shove justified self-defense and sought the 15-year minimum.
  • Loved ones described Limmer’s character during sentencing, including his bone marrow donation, and a nearby park has been renamed in his honor.
