Megan Montgomery was a Ross Bridge resident who was shot to death at the age of 31 in December 2019 by her estranged husband, Jason McIntosh, in Mountain Brook. McIntosh pleaded guilty to murder in 2021 and was sentenced to 30 years in prison.
Montgomery’s mother, Susann Montgomery-Clark and stepfather, Rod Clark, in 2021 started the Megan Montgomery Foundation with the goal of preventing dating and domestic violence before it starts by partnering with like-minded nonprofits and schools. Montgomery’s sister, Meredith Montgomery-Price, serves as the organization’s executive director.
