Aralyn Martinez, a 24-year-old Texas gymgoer, has been accused of nearly taking the life of a romantic rival after hurling a 25-pound weight plate at the woman’s head during a confrontation inside a gym.
The violent encounter took place on January 6 at a 24 Hour Fitness outside Houston, after deputies say Martinez recognized the complainant as “someone her partner was involved with” and confronted her mid-workout.
What followed, prosecutors say, was an almost fatal jealousy-fueled altercation.
