Manuel Handboy, Colorado man convicted of plowing car into ex girlfriend, her mother, sister days after woman breaking up with man as suspect laid in wait as victim and family returned to local motel. 

A Colorado man accused of striking his ex girlfriend, her mother and another relative after the woman ‘ending their relationship,’ was on Tuesday found guilty in what prosecutors described as a domestic violence incident.

Manuel Handboy, 39, was convicted of attempted first-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, attempted manslaughter, first-degree assault, second-degree assault, and third-degree assault. 

An Adams County jury reached the verdict after an eight-day trial, CBS News reported.

Ex boyfriend had laid in waiting for ex girlfriend before plowing car into her and family members

‘This defendant plowed his vehicle into three innocent victims, causing unspeakable suffering,’ said District Attorney Brian Mason in a statement in part. ‘The defendant’s violent actions are an outrageous assault on this community, and I’m grateful to the jury for returning a just verdict.’

According to prosecutors, on Jan. 15, 2022, Handboy’s ex-girlfriend, her mother, and sister were returning to the Red Rock Motel on responded to 63rd Avenue near Federal Boulevard following a shopping trip. The victim had been staying at the motel with her mother after recently breaking up with Handboy, 39. 

Victims told police that as they were unloading items from their vehicle, Handboy, who unbeknown to the victims had laid in waiting, accelerated toward the group in his black Acura sedan. That’s when investigators said the man intentionally hit the victim, her mother, and her sister with his vehicle, 9News reported.

Prosecutors said the force of the impact sent both the victim and her mother into the air while the victim’s sister, who was sitting in the car, was also struck. The victim and her sister were injured and their mother was knocked unconscious and suffered a traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures. 

After crashing his vehicle and flipping it onto its side, Handboy tried to run away from the scene only to be subdued by a witness before Adams County Sheriff’s Office arrived on the scene, taking the man into custody.

The incident followed the former girlfriend breaking up with Handboy days before after a 3 year relationship with the man.

Handboy is scheduled for sentencing on April 2.
