A woman is behind bars six years after she allegedly stabbed a man to death at a home in Southeast Albuquerque.
Antionette Hernandez, 29, was arrested Thursday and charged with an open count of murder and criminal trespass in the 2019 killing of 38-year-old Eric Lewis. Hernandez does not yet have an attorney.
Lewis’ stabbing went unsolved for six years after the detective on the case was promoted to sergeant, according to court records. The case was assigned to an investigator for review before it was transferred to a homicide detective in April 2025.
Prosecutors on Friday filed a motion to keep Hernandez behind bars until trial, saying she “exhibited violent and dangerous behavior that threatens the safety of the community.”
“The Court will be unable to ensure that the Defendant is not possessing knives, and not threatening, or hurting more innocent people,” the motion states.
Police were conducting a patrol on Sept. 27, 2019, of condemned houses in Southeast Albuquerque to ensure that people were not living inside them, according to a criminal complaint filed in Metropolitan Court.
Around 11:30 a.m., police entered a home that had been condemned in the 400 block of Utah SE, south of Zuni, and noticed “a wad of hair on the floor and a strange smell,” the complaint states.
Officers saw bloody shoe prints throughout the kitchen floor and found Lewis’ body, according to the complaint. An autopsy determined Lewis had been fatally stabbed.

“Antionette Hernandez, 29”
Crack Ho?, she looks 45
But at least she’s not crazy.
Looks like she blew any chance to plead insanity with that shirt.
Past cases have been called “a rush to judgment.”
Maybe for a photo finish in a turtle race.
When you are a killer, it pays to be a psycho-killer. You will get affirmation action for crazies, that will keep you out of prison and into a pleasant psych-ward, until you are cured. Which means that for 2-3 years you have been faithfully taking your psych-meds. Or pretending to do this. Plus your psychiatrist feels sorry for your awful childhood, that you are a victim too.
I’m not sure I believe her
I bet she smells bad too.
It’s not the years, it’s the mileage.

29?.....In what? Dog Years?.................
Pretty sure that’s not Antoinette but an Anthony. Yuk
That one has a lot of hard miles to her. Rode hard and put away wet way too many times.
Antionette Hernandez has some 5 o’clock shadow there, by the looks of that upper lip.
Or just weird shadows from the lighting.
That lower lip is a man’s lip. Too broad.
Agreed...she’s been there...got the tee shirt...
