Jose Lalo Pompas Leal, a 28-year-old from Port Arthur, Texas, was killed in a shooting on January 25, 2018. Leal, born May 26, 1989, was described as an entrepreneur and member of Life Church. He is survived by his fiancée, Brittney Hanks, and his children.
Authorities say two men, David Earl Broadus and James Joseph Levron, followed Leal’s car and opened fire while he was driving on Memorial Boulevard. The gunfire reportedly caused Leal’s vehicle to lose control and collide with another car at a major intersection, seriously injuring that driver. Levron was accused of driving during the incident and Broadus was identified as the shooter. A Jefferson County grand jury returned murder and aggravated assault indictments in the case.
Broadus was later acquitted of the murder charges in May 2019, though he still faced charges related to aggravated assault and the injured driver’s harm. Levron reportedly gave conflicting accounts and remained involved in ongoing legal proceedings. What does anyone who knew Jose, his routines, or the events on Memorial Boulevard that day remember or know that could help clarify what happened?
