Walthill, Nebraska Man Sentenced for Domestic Assault by an Habitual Offender

United States Attorney Susan Lehr announced that Shaquille Moniz, age 31, of Walthill, Nebraska, was sentenced January 3, 2025, in federal court in Omaha, Nebraska, for domestic assault by an habitual offender in Indian Country. Chief United States District Court Judge Robert F. Rossiter, Jr. sentenced Moniz to 37 months’ imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. After Moniz’s release from prison, he will begin a 3-year term of supervised release.

In April 2024, Moniz assaulted his then-girlfriend resulting in substantial bodily injury. At the time that Moniz committed the assault on his girlfriend, he had already been convicted on multiple occasions of domestic violence offenses in state and tribal courts.

This case was prosecuted in federal court because the offense was a felony and occurred on the Omaha Nation Indian Reservation in Nebraska.

This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
