A couple who once lived in the Bee Cave area were killed by the woman’s ex-husband in a Wednesday morning shootout in Ohio, authorities said.
Cheryl Sanders, a stunt woman who has appeared in films including “Ocean’s Eleven,” and her husband, Robert Sanders, died in a shootout outside a house in Greene County, Ohio, the Greene County sheriff’s office told the Dayton Daily News.
In the moments before the melee, Robert Sanders was outside the ex-husband’s home and approached the ex-husband with a gun as he pulled into the driveway, Greene County Sheriff Gene Fischer said. The ex-husband, who also had a gun, fired at Sanders, killing him, the sheriff said.
Cheryl Sanders then arrived at the home in her vehicle soon after the shooting began, Fischer told the Daily News. They traded gunfire and Cheryl Sanders was shot and killed, Fischer said.
The ex-husband reported to the Greene County sheriff’s office five years ago that he believed Cheryl Sanders was trying to hire someone to kill him, Fischer said.
Fischer said his office is still investigating whether the shooting was a planned ambush.
Robert Sanders had been licensed in real estate in Texas, Fischer said Thursday.
According to her online biography, Cheryl Sanders said her career as a stunt woman in the 1980s and ’90s included being a double for Brooke Shields, Sharon Stone, Rene Russo, Kathleen Turner and other A-list actresses. She did stunt double work for Jessica Alba in 2016.
She broke the bones in her face, right arm and hand in a flying stunt while filming “Back to the Future Part II” in 1989, according to the Denver Post.
