A Colorado man who got dumped by his girlfriend responded to the breakup by mowing the woman down with his sedan at a motel, along with her sister and mother, as they unloaded items from their car following a shopping trip, according to prosecutors.

Manuel Handboy, 39, was convicted this month of attempted first-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, attempted manslaughter, first-degree assault, second-degree assault, and third-degree assault for the 2022 attack. An Adams County jury found him guilty on Jan. 13 after an eight-day trial, according to District Attorney Brian Mason of Colorado’s 17th Judicial District, which serves Adams and Broomfield Counties.

“This was an outrageous, outrageous act of violence,” Mason tells Law&Crime. “The defendant literally plowed his vehicle into these innocent victims out of nowhere. They had no idea it was coming.”
