In the early morning hours of November 3, 2019, a dispute that began inside a sports bar in the Town of Wallkill, New York, ended with 23-year-old Matthew H. Napoleoni of Middletown being fatally shot outside the Made in Puerto Rico Latin Cuisine and Sports Bar. New York State Police investigators quickly identified 26-year-old Jamaad Murphy, also from Middletown, as the suspect, but he had already left the area and was sought by multiple law enforcement agencies.

An Orange County Grand Jury indicted Murphy for second-degree murder on December 17, 2019, and the FBI became involved in the search, noting links to North Carolina and Georgia and offering a reward for information. Murphy was later found and arrested in Rockland County; he was taken into custody without incident and held at the Orange County Jail. The investigation followed a lengthy interstate manhunt that began after the shooting.

Are there details about Matthew’s life or the events that night that someone in the area can add to help clarify what happened?
