Michelle Lois Smith Bloodworth, 43, was a female resident of Alma, Georgia, whose life ended in violence on October 3, 2014. Online records show she was born on March 4, 1971, in Del Ray Beach, Florida, graduated from Terry Parker High School in Jacksonville, later moved to Alma, and worked for Mid South Feeds. She left behind two children, Callie and Andrew Bloodworth, along with a large family and a community that plainly knew her as more than a name in a case file.
What emerged from
the reporting was a sudden, chaotic scene in Alma that turned fatal in an instant. Accounts tied to the case say Michelle stepped into a fight between two other women, and in that attempt to intervene she was shot and killed. The incident was logged as a fatal shooting in Alma, and the circumstances described online paint the picture of a confrontation that spiraled quickly, leaving Michelle dead where only moments earlier she had apparently been trying to break up trouble rather than become its victim.
The suspect publicly identified in online source material was Lisa Newberry. Available records indicate Newberry was arrested in connection with the shooting and was listed as unharmed after the incident. Local reporting that remains referenced online also indicates Newberry was later denied bond, suggesting the case moved beyond the immediate arrest stage and into formal court handling. That is the clearest arrest-related development consistently reflected across the online material.
