Elizabeth Martinez, 29, was sentenced to 40 years in prison for the murder of Leo Badillo in October, 2014.
She pleaded guilty to the murder charge in a Lubbock County courtroom on Thursday.
Badillo was found shot in his driveway on the 1900 block of 27th Street on October 14, 2014, Lubbock Police said. He died a short time later.
Days after Badillo’s murder, his son, Leo Badillo Jr., said he always looked up to his father.
“I always wanted to tell him I loved him, but I never had the chance to,” Badillo Jr. said in 2014.
A second person was initially arrested in the case, but was later released.
