ANDREWS, TX– An Andrews County Grand Jury indicted a former nurse from Odessa Regional Medical Center last week for intentionally killing a woman with a drug she took from hospital without permission.
Rhonda Marquez has been charged with Criminal Negligent Homicide and Delivery of a Dangerous Drug.
Investigators say that on September 15 2019, Marquez gave an unidentified Andrews woman a dose of a "dangerous drug" who then passed out a short time later.
Andrews Police and EMS were notified and when they arrived on scene, they attempted to revive the woman, but were unsuccessful. She was later pronounced deceased at Permian Regional Medical Center shortly after.
The medical examiner stated that the autopsy showed signs that the unidentified woman died from anaphylactic shock.
Police say they arrested Marquez on Feb. 28, 2020 and she was later released on bond.
