4th Suspect Held in Double Slaying at San Antonio Apartment

A fourth suspect has been arrested in the beating deaths of two people at a San Antonio apartment in an alleged dispute over dating and drugs.

Medina County jail records show Veronica Sanchez was being held Thursday on a murder charge, with bond set at $500,000.

Loribeth Martinez, John Mendoza Jr. and Kristopher Sanchez remain in custody face murder counts in the June 7 attack.

The burned body of a woman, Traci Lemley, was found June 8 in a field in Castroville. Jeremy Carrico's body was discovered June 17 in a plastic container near Robstown.

An arrest affidavit says Martinez believed her boyfriend was having sex with Lemley and also using drugs with her.

Jail records do no list an attorney for Veronica Sanchez to speak on her behalf.
