Steven McManus

Steven Warren McManus, a 51-year-old White man, lost his life during a domestic dispute in Semmes, Alabama, in the late spring of 2020. On the evening of May 26, McManus was at a residence on Highwood Circle West with his girlfriend, 34-year-old Amanda Moberly, when an argument between them turned violent. Moberly later alleged that McManus had choked her during the altercation.

In response, Moberly armed herself with a gun and fired, striking McManus. The gunshot wound proved fatal. Tragically, two children under the age of twelve were also inside the home at the time of the shooting. The Mobile County Sheriff's Office responded to the scene and launched a homicide investigation.

Investigators identified Amanda Moberly as the suspect in McManus's death, concluding that the shooting was the result of the domestic argument. Moberly was arrested and subsequently charged with murder.

The case against Amanda Moberly proceeded to trial. In April 2023, a jury found her guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter. The following month, in May 2023, Moberly was sentenced to serve 20 years in prison for the conviction. With her sentencing, the legal proceedings in the case came to a close.
