Maureen Lomax Day was 53 and a longtime resident of west Mobile, Alabama, known as a hospice nurse who loved gardening and family. On the morning of March 25, 2014, authorities answering a call to her home on Repoll Road found her deceased from several gunshot wounds. The scene in the quiet, somewhat remote neighborhood prompted a homicide investigation.

Investigators focused on her 26-year-old son, Derek Michael Boyce, who lived in the same house. Neighbors recalled Ms. Day as quiet and kind and described Boyce as boisterous and known to shoot guns in the backyard. Police records noted prior arrests for Boyce on drug and public intoxication charges. Mobile Police arrested Boyce and charged him with his mother’s murder; when questioned he reportedly said Jesus told him to. The case was described as a domestic-related shooting.

If anyone knew Maureen or has information about what happened that morning, please share what is remembered.
