On a Tuesday evening in New Orleans, the life of Sharon Ann Pulley, a 60-year-old retired teacher, was tragically cut short. On April 18, 2017, at approximately 9:17 p.m., the New Orleans Police Department responded to a call of a shooting in the 2200 block of Athis Street in the Gentilly neighborhood. Upon arrival, officers discovered a grim scene with three individuals having been shot.
Sharon Pulley was one of the victims of the triple shooting and was pronounced dead at the scene,
having suffered from multiple gunshot wounds. The shooting also left two other individuals wounded. Her death was a sudden and violent end to a life dedicated to education and her community. A lifelong resident of New Orleans, she had been a teacher in the Orleans Parish School System.
In the years that have followed that fatal spring evening, the case of Sharon Pulley's murder has remained unsolved. Despite investigations by the New Orleans Police Department, no arrests have been made in connection with the shooting, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The circumstances surrounding the triple shooting and the motive behind it remain unclear to the public. The case is still considered an open investigation, with a reward being offered for any information that could lead to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for her death. Her family continues to seek answers and justice for her untimely and tragic passing.
