268th District Court – Judge Brady Elliott - Murder

The lone woman involved in the aggravated robbery and murder of retired Fulshear teacher Martha Fields in December 2007 was assessed a sentence after a plea of guilty.

A 26 year old Victoria resident, Angela Lara, was sentenced to 50 years in prison on June 2, 2009 after she entered a plea of guilty to Aggravated Robbery that led to the death of Ms. Fields. According to authorities, when confronted with the fact that Ms. Fields had been stabbed she replied, “**it Happens”.

In the December attack Ms. Fields was stabbed over 17 times after she opened the door to two men believing them to have a package to deliver. Although there were three suspects involved, Lara did not enter the home and remained in the car as a lookout. Her co-conspirator Kevin Cypher was arrested shortly after the murder and took a plea deal of 30 years. The third conspirator has been identified as Marwan Saeed. He remains at large.

District Judge Brady Elliott sentenced Lara.

Tuesday night, June 2, 2009 at approximately 11:11 p.m., sheriff’s deputies responded to an aggravated robbery in the 6600 block of Everhill Circle in the Cinco Ranch neighborhood in northwest Fort Bend County near Katy.

According to sheriff’s spokesperson Terriann Carlson, “Two armed suspects gained entry into the residence demanding money.” The young couple living there complied with the intruder’s demands and handed over an undisclosed amount of cash and valuables. Carlson said, “The homeowners were not harmed in any way but were in fear for their lives.”

Anyone with information or details is asked to please contact Fort Bend County Crime Stoppers at (281) 342-TIPS (8477) or the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office at (281) 341-4665.

The suspects are described as black males in their mid-20s to early 30s, both wearing black baseball caps. One of the intruders concealed his face with a black bandanna.
