On January 20, 2026, at approximately 11:52 A.M., Saint Paul Officers were dispatched to the 1200 block of Wilson, Saint Paul, County of Ramsey, on a domestic where caller reported her boyfriend broke down her apartment door and threatened her. Officer Rodriguez arrived on scene and found LDR’s apartment door damaged- door frame broken. Property Manager OM assisted with Spanish translation. LDR told officers that at around 1:00 A.M., she was preparing for bed. Her ex-boyfriend, EDUARDO LOPEZ- HERNANDEZ, [DOB REDACTED]-kicked her door, entered her room, grabbed both of her arms, and told her he was going to kill her.
He said if she wasn’t for him, she was not for anyone. He dragged her out of bed and broke her cellphone. EDUARDO LOPEZ-HERNANDEZ was upset because she broke up with him after finding out he cheated on her. She called his family and friends to remove him from the apartment. EDUARDO LOPEZ-HERNANDEZ’s friends arrived and he left the apartment. She called police later because she did not know what to do. LDR said she and EDUARDO LOPEZ-HERNANDEZ have been in a romantic relationship for one year and they both live in the apartment, with both names on the lease.
LDR also said EDUARDO LOPEZ-HERNANDEZ choked and threatened to kill her on January 4, 2026. LDR told offices that EDUARDO LOPEZ-HERNANDEZ was probably at his sister’s (Martha Lopez- Hernandez’s) apartment. Officers went to Martha Lopez-Hernandez’s apartment, but were told he was not there. At around 1:51 P.M., on January 20th, Officers were driving to another call when they heard that two individuals from prior call were fighting. Officers responded and located LDR and EDUARDO LOPEZ- HERNADEZ’s sister (Martha Lopez-Hernandez) in LDR’s apartment.
Property Manager OM advised the male in the dark jacket is EDUARDO LOPEZ-HERNANDEZ. While officers were handcuffing EDUARDO LOPEZ-HERNANDEZ, Martha Lopez-Hernandez lunged at LDR and punched and pulled her hair. Martha Lopez-Hernandez grabbed LDR’s hair and kicked her repeatedly. Officers intervened and grabbed Martha Lopez-Hernandez’s legs and hands to try to stop the assault. Martha Lopez-Hernandez was sprayed with ASR. Martha Lopez-Hernandez was eventually arrested. Property Manager OM told officers that prior to police arrival, Martha Lopez-Hernandez went into LDR’s apartment and argued with her, asking her why she called police to her (Martha Lopez-Hernandez’s) apartment.
Martha Lopez-Hernandez told LDR she was going to give her a reason to call police. Martha Lopez-Hernandez started punching and pulling LDR’s hair. Martha Lopez-Hernandez continued to assault LDR-pushed her against the wall three times and punched her approximately ten to twelve times. LDR was transported to Regions Hospital. In a subsequent conversation with an investigator, LDR said she and EDUARDO LOPEZ-HERNANDEZ previously lived together in the apartment, but he has moved out. After a Miranda advisory, EDUARDO LOPEZ-HERNANDEZ spoke to an investigator.
