Josh Randal Bulldog Manuel, 33, was found shot to death on Starlight Avenue in Wilmer, Alabama, on January 11, 2020. The case left a wife and four young children grieving and prompted a public plea for anyone with information to come forward.

Investigators from the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office say the inquiry moved quickly. On January 16, 2020, Richard Jacob Phillips was arrested in George County, Mississippi, and charged with Manuel’s murder. Authorities reported that their case relied on physical evidence from the scene plus statements from multiple witnesses, including an eyewitness who identified Phillips in connection with the shooting. Extradition to Mobile County was begun so Phillips could face the murder charge.
