Charges Filed; Mora Still At Large

Posted
Murder charges have been filed against Omar Mora in the murders of Harpal Singh and Mora's wife, Lisa Heather Mora.

Mora was charged Thursday afternoon with two counts of murder, a Class A felony.

Police said that U.S. federal marshalls are involved in the case, but wouldn't say to what extent.

At 5:11 p.m. Wednesday, Warsaw Police responded to a 911 call from the Phillips 66 Service station at 2518 E. Center St., Warsaw.

Phillips 66 manager Harpal Singh, 38, of Warsaw was found outside the laundromat with multiple gunshot wounds.

According to Kosciusko County Coroner John Sadler, Singh suffered four gunshot wounds to the head and neck and three to the torso.

Sadler said the shots were sustained from an intermediate range, and it is believed that the weapon used was a 9 mm handgun.

Singh was pronounced dead at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Lisa Heather Mora, 32, of Warsaw was pronounced dead at 9:39 p.m. at Lutheran Hospital, Fort Wayne.

The Allen County Coroner's office handled the autopsy of Mora, but refused to release any details other than she died from multiple gunshot wounds.

It is believed the motive for both murders was an extra-marital affair that was taking place between Singh and Lisa Mora.

Omar Mora had no criminal history in Kosciusko County prior to the murders, and had only a February 2004 speeding ticket on record at the Kosciusko County Justice Building.

As of press time, Mora was still at-large.

Mora is described as being 5 feet, 7 inches and 170 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.

Mora was last seen driving a 2003 Chevy Silverado full-sized pickup truck with the license plate 5181T.

Anyone with information on Mora is asked to call Kosciusko County Dispatch at 574-267-5667 or 574-372-9511.
