Juan Esteban Galindo Quintero, a 39-year-old man, tragically lost his life on April 5, 2025, in Laredo, Texas. According to reports, he was fatally shot at his residence in the Quail Creek neighborhood, near Father McNaboe Park. The incident occurred late at night, around 10:38 p.m., and also left another individual, 53-year-old Jorge Luis Gómez, critically injured.
Authorities believe the suspect, identified as José Manuel Gómez Robledo, also 39 years old, fled to Mexico following the attack.
Law enforcement officials have not disclosed a motive for the crime, but they suspect that Gómez Robledo, who was reportedly a friend of the victim, carried out the shooting before forcing another individual at gunpoint to drive him to the international bridge, allowing him to escape across the border. The police are actively seeking information from the public to locate Gómez Robledo, offering a reward through Laredo Crime Stoppers for any tips leading to his arrest.
Meanwhile, Jorge Luis Gómez remains in critical condition at a hospital in San Antonio, Texas, suffering from at least one gunshot wound to the head. The authorities continue their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the attack, urging anyone with relevant information to come forward. The community has been shaken by the violent incident, and efforts to bring the suspect to justice remain ongoing.
