A commercial pilot wanted on a child sex charge committed suicide on Friday, less than one month after getting arrested and then freed on bail.

NBC 10 News reported that 33-year-old Jeremy Gudorf shot himself inside his own car in Revere, Massachusetts. He was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.

The incident occurred at the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s Wonderland station after the state police’s Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section, Revere police, and US Marshals had been looking for him.

Massachusetts State Police spokesperson Tim McGuirk said that while in Gudorf was in his car the suspect “revealed a firearm and abruptly shot himself” as they closed in.

Gurdorf, a JetBlue pilot residing in Xenia, Ohio, was arrested in Boston on a plane destined for Paris right before takeoff on February 20. US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reviewed the manifest of his flight and found he had outstanding warrants.

According to Massachusetts State Police, Gudorf had an active warrant out of North Carolina for his arrest.

He was charged in Massachusetts as a fugitive from justice. The warrant in North Carolina was for a charge of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor.

As the Daily Mail reported, The Huntersville Police Department in North Carolina launched an investigation into Gudorf in October 2024 after receiving a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Investigators proceeded to obtain a search warrant for Google during the investigation, which allegedly led them to find sexual exploitation images linked to Gudorf.

But Gudorf had already fled, according to the police department.

“At the time the crime was committed, records indicate he resided in Huntersville, NC. However, during the investigation, and before he was identified as a suspect, he relocated out of state,” the department said in a statement.

A federal judge in Boston set Gudorf’s bail at $10,000 provided that he handed himself over to law enforcement in the Tar Heel State. It does not appear he ever did so.

JetBlue released the following statement in response to Gudorf’s death:

This is a tragic situation, and our hearts go out to all those affected. The crewmember had been placed on indefinite leave after his arrest, and we remain committed to assisting law enforcement in any way possible.
