The Background: Key people involved, their relationships, and the motive Defendant: LaSherria Hastings (also spelled Lasherria), age 28 at the time of the incident (33 at sentencing); Lubbock resident. Victim: Randale Roshawn Stewart (also referred to as Randale “Ray” Stewart), age 38. Relationship: Legally married at the time but separated. Stewart had a girlfriend. They had been out in a group earlier that night. Motive: Argument/confrontation between the separated spouses. Defense claimed a strong self-defense case. Stewart’s family maintained he was the victim of family violence. Defense attorney noted Stewart was a different person when using drugs or alcohol. No other specific long-term motive publicly detailed. 2. The Crime: Specific details of the event, including date, location, and any calculated planning or tampering Date: August 20, 2017 (early morning, approximately 5:50–5:51 a.m.). Location: Outside a residence in the 5800 block of Avenue G, central Lubbock, Texas. Sequence (per police and court): Lubbock police responded to a civil disturbance/fight call. Officers found Stewart with a stab wound to the upper left chest. He was transported to University Medical Center and pronounced dead. Investigators determined Hastings confronted Stewart (who had gone to his car), stabbed him during the argument, and then ran away. Stewart’s girlfriend reported hearing men arguing outside, growing concerned when he did not answer his phone, and seeing people gathered near the vehicle with Hastings fleeing. Planning/tampering: No extensive premeditation or post-act concealment reported. The stabbing occurred during a spontaneous confrontation outdoors; Hastings fled the scene immediately afterward. 3. The Investigation: Suspect behavior, key evidence found (digital or physical), and inconsistencies in stories Suspect behavior: Hastings fled after the stabbing. She later cooperated with investigators at the Lubbock Police Department and was arrested that afternoon (approximately 3:45 p.m.) and charged with murder. Key evidence: Stab wound confirmed as cause of death. Witness statements (including from Stewart’s girlfriend who heard the argument and saw Hastings run). Hastings’ own interactions with police. No major digital evidence (such as video of the stabbing itself) was publicly highlighted. Inconsistencies/stories: Defense positioned the case as self-defense. Victim’s family disputed this, asserting Stewart was the victim of family violence. Hastings was held for over three years before being released on bond in December 2020. She remained out on bond until the plea. No major physical evidence contradictions were reported in public accounts. 4. Conviction and Sentencing: Trial dates, specific verdicts for each defendant, and their final sentences Charges: Initially indicted for murder. Reduced via plea to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon causing serious bodily injury to a family member (first-degree felony). Court process: Case proceeded in Lubbock’s 364th District Court before District Judge William Eichman. After years of delays, Hastings accepted a plea deal rather than risk a jury trial (defense noted the unpredictability of juries despite claiming a strong self-defense case). Plea and sentencing: September 12, 2022 – Pleaded guilty to the aggravated assault charge. Sentenced to 10 years in prison. She would be required to serve half the sentence before parole eligibility. Victim’s family gave impact statements and expressed that the 10-year sentence was an injustice after the long wait. Defense highlighted Hastings’ law-abiding behavior while on bond and her faith. No other defendants.
