Shaquille Moniz, a 31-year-old resident of Walthill, Nebraska, has been sentenced to 37 months in prison for his role in a domestic assault by an habitual offender on the Omaha Nation Indian Reservation.
The assault occurred in April 2024, resulting in substantial bodily injury to his then-girlfriend. At the time of the assault, Moniz had already been convicted on multiple occasions of domestic violence offenses in state and tribal courts.
Moniz’s case was prosecuted in federal court due to the severity of the offense and the fact that it occurred in Indian Country. The Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated the case.
Chief United States District Court Judge Robert F. Rossiter, Jr. handed down the sentence on January 3, 2025. Moniz will also serve a 3-year term of supervised release upon his release from prison.
There is no parole in the federal system, meaning that Moniz will serve the full 37 months of his sentence before being released.

The prosecution of domestic violence cases in federal court is an important step in holding offenders accountable for their actions and providing support to victims of domestic abuse.
