Amanda Glover, 48, was killed at her home at 179 West Street in Wendell, Massachusetts, on July 5, 2017. The killing occurred during a domestic dispute after Glover told her boyfriend, Lewis Starkey III, that their relationship was over. Starkey reportedly retrieved a 12-gauge shotgun from the basement and shot Glover at close range inside the house.

Glover’s adult son Devin witnessed the shooting and was also targeted; he escaped into nearby woods and called police. Starkey fled in Glover’s vehicle and, during a five-day manhunt, drove to his workplace in Chicopee and shot at a former co-worker, who was injured by shattered glass but survived. Starkey was arrested on July 9, 2017, in Orange, Massachusetts, and charged with murder, attempted murder, and other offenses. He was convicted in 2019 of first-degree murder and attempted murder and received life without parole plus an additional 10 to 15 years for the attempt.
