BOERNE, Texas — A San Antonio woman was sentenced to 20 years in prison after she injured two elderly victims during a robbery attempt at their Boerne home and was shot in the process, according to the Kendall County district attorney.
On June 5, 2019, Kendall County Deputies responded to a call about shots fired with a woman screaming at a potential robbery at 608 Kendall Parkway. Arrest affidavits say Fabiola Martinez, 31, forced her way into the home and cut 71-year-old Ruby Lehrmann in the hand. Lehrmann got her gun and fired, hitting Martinez in the ear.
Martinez reportedly called 911 and told the dispatcher she was sorry. She was captured on a golf course in Fair Oaks Ranch with a gunshot wound to her right ear, and the affidavit says she told officers her husband was in a car outside and drove away when the shooting started.
Linda Hanson, also 71, sustained bruises from fighting back. Investigators said both she and Lehrmann will likely suffer long-term fear because of the attack.
“This was an incredibly brazen, targeted, and violent offense that took place in broad daylight in a peaceful Kendall County community,” said Kendall County Special Victims Prosecutor Nick Socias. “This defendant calmly shopped at Target for Duck tape, a knife, gloves, and other accessories for her crime; disguised her appearance, banged on the door of an elderly couple her family cleaned for until they answered the door, then pushed her way inside. Thank God that one of the victims had a gun or else I fear this would have ended much worse.”
