A heated romantic dispute allegedly exploded into violence at a Texas gym after a jealous girlfriend was accused of throwing a 25-pound weight plate at another woman’s head.
The shocking incident reportedly occurred on January 7, 2026, at a 24 Hour Fitness gym in Spring, Texas, where the suspect allegedly recognized the victim as a romantic rival and confronted her.
What began as a verbal altercation quickly escalated, with police saying the woman yelled before hurling the heavy weight in an apparent attempt to cause serious harm.
Authorities later arrested the suspect, identified as 24-year-old Aralyn Martinez, and charged her with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, noting that alcohol may have played a role in the incident.
She was released on bond under strict court conditions, including no contact with the victim and staying away from the gym, as the case continues to draw attention over concerns about public safety and extreme jealousy turning violent.
