On 5/9/22 at 1:53 a.m. SPD Patrol officers responded to an apartment in Cone Homes off Northside Drive East in Statesboro for an unresponsive female. Upon their arrival, officers found the female deceased. Various factors regarding the death were noted by officers as suspicious and detectives were called out to investigate. The decedent was identified as Keturah Lee Mobley (31, Cone Homes, Statesboro). The 911 caller was Mobley’s boyfriend, Alonzo Lorenzo Stewart (35, Cone Homes, Statesboro).
