DALLAS — A Texas woman faces a murder charge after authorities say she performed a “self-induced abortion.”
Lizelle Herrera, 26, was arrested Thursday in Rio Grande City, near the Texas-Mexico border. The Starr County Sheriff’s Office told KVEO-TV that Herrera was taken into custody after authorities learned she “intentionally and knowingly caused the death of an individual by self-induced abortion.”
Herrera was being held in the Starr County Jail, with bail set at $500,000, KVEO reported. It was unclear whether she has an attorney.
