A Tarrant County jury convicted a woman and sentenced her to life in prison this week in the 2024 murder of her boyfriend, Tarrant County district attorney Phil Sorrells said on Tuesday.
Bridget Leitao, 45, shot and killed Jorge Lara Pulido, 40, after an argument on May 27, 2024, the Star-Telegram initially reported. The two were driving to a grocery store when they began to argue about Pulido’s absence earlier in the day.
Pulido turned the vehicle around and returned to a motel in the 100 block of Airport Freeway in Euless where the couple were staying.
When they arrived, Leitao shot Pulido once in the chest, and he died at the scene, Euless police said.
