Laura Carter was a 33-year-old graduate student at the University of Texas at San Antonio who was shot and killed on January 11, 2015, in San Antonio. She was found dead in her car on the city’s east side, having been shot multiple times while sitting in the driver’s seat; the assailant was in the passenger seat. Prosecutors said she was shot five times in the head during what they described as a botched heroin deal after being lured to the location and persuaded to withdraw $7,000 from her college savings for an alleged drug partnership.

Miguel Martinez was arrested days after the killing. His first trial in 2017 ended in a mistrial. In an August 2019 retrial a jury found him guilty of murder; during the penalty phase prosecutors urged life in prison and the jury sentenced Martinez to life with the possibility of parole after 30 years. The victim’s mother, J’ann Rodriguez-Carter, said the legal part was over but the family’s pain remained.

Does anyone have additional information about Laura’s activities or connections on the east side of San Antonio in January 2015?
