Jorge Lara Pulido

Jorge Lara Pulido was a 40-year-old Hispanic man whose life was cut short in the late spring of 2024. He was a resident of Euless, Texas.

On the night of May 26, 2024, police responded to a call from a motel in the 100 block of West Airport Freeway. A witness had reported that a man had been shot and was lying on the ground. At around 10:30 p.m., officers arrived to find Pulido with a single gunshot wound to his chest. Paramedics were called to the scene, but they were unable to save him and pronounced him dead.

Also at the motel was Bridget Leitao, who identified herself to authorities as Pulido’s girlfriend. According to police, Leitao told the responding officers that she and Pulido had been involved in a dispute and that she was the one who had shot him.

Leitao was arrested at the scene and charged with murder. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office later officially ruled Pulido's death a homicide. Leitao was prosecuted for the crime, convicted of murder, and sentenced to life in prison. With her conviction and sentencing, the case is considered closed.
