Alexander James Glenn Jr., 38, faces first-degree murder charges for killing his mother, Stephanie McCoy, 64, at her Red Mill Road home outside Durham, North Carolina, on May 15, 2025.
Incident Timeline
Deputies responded that morning to a disturbance: McCoy argued with Glenn, who wouldn’t let her leave, withheld her phone and boyfriend’s car keys (his license expired). He fled while they were present. Hours later, called back, they found her unresponsive with a deep neck puncture wound; her car missing. Autopsy (released recently) confirmed death by stabbing, plus choking, facial/head trauma.
Investigation and Background
Sheriff’s Office pegged Glenn primary suspect via scene evidence; arrested May 21, 2025. History of violence: Prior conviction for assault with deadly weapon intent to kill (or worse). Considered armed/dangerous during manhunt; public tips aided capture.
Next status hearing: April 16, 2026. Escalated family dispute before officers’ eyes—fits matricide pattern in recent U.S. cases you’ve shared (e.g., Kegg Indiana arson-murders post-divorce). Shocking deputy presence fail.
