Murder of Darrin Loving

On October 29th, 2024, Darrin Ray Loving, an 18 year-old black student who was disabled and attended special needs classes, was stabbed by another black student, 18 year-old Mac Brown Mbah Mbanwei, on the campus grounds of Manor Senior High School. The Manor Police Department was called to Manor Senior High School after the stabbing was reported to have taken place. The incident occurred around 12:45 PM (Central Standard Time) on a Tuesday, and after many unsuccessful attempts from EMS to tend to Loving’s wounds and revive him, Loving succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead on the scene at 1:13 PM.

The incident was said to have occurred around lunchtime for the school and in the restroom of the school, in which Loving and Mbanwei got into a physical altercation according to witnesses. According to the witnesses who were near the bathroom at the time, both students got into an altercation which ended with Mbanwei mortally wounding the latter by stabbing him multiple times, around the neck area and his chest. Loving then began losing blood at an alarming rate and ran outside the bathroom into the halls, leaving a trail of blood before collapsing and succumbing to his wounds. Students who witnessed the altercation quickly began to yell and were in a state of panic after seeing Loving's corpse on the ground and the chaos caught the attention of the school's SRO (School Resource Officer), who was patrolling the lunchroom at the time. The officer began looking around for the perpetrator, and students redirected him to the boy's restroom in the cafeteria, where he had glanced into the restroom and saw Mbanwei with his hands in his pockets. The officer ordered Mbanwei to remove his hands from his pockets, to which he refused, and there was a physical struggle between the two until the officer had found a kitchen knife in Mbanwei's possession and seized the knife. [4] Mbanwei was then arrested immediately after and was escorted outside the school.

Mbanwei was booked into the Travis County Jail and charged with first-degree murder, with a bond of $1 million USD (United States Dollar). The district's superintendent has declined to share details about Mbanwei or Loving's behavioral records due to federal privacy laws. Mbanwei had a court hearing on November 18th, during which, Judge Brandy Mueller, the presiding Judge of the 403rd Court District, ordered Mbanwei to be examined by an expert competency evaluator, to determine if the defendant is mentally competent to stand trial at this time. The next hearing is set for January 6th, 2025.
