Matthew Rivera, 21, was shot and killed at his Orlando home on Darlington Drive in the early hours of June 21, 2020. Deputies who responded found Matthew and his mother, Jodie Rivera, both suffering from gunshot wounds; Orange County Fire Rescue pronounced them dead at the scene.

Authorities identified Matthew’s father, 59-year-old Smith Rivera, as the suspect. He was taken into custody shortly after the incident and admitted to the shootings when he returned to the scene and approached a deputy. Investigators found multiple shell casings and a converted Glock long gun inside the home, and the affidavit states Smith Rivera fired multiple rounds at another son, who escaped unharmed. Family members told investigators Smith Rivera had been suffering severe depression, worsened by COVID-19-related stress and isolation, which the affidavit links to the motive.

Does anyone have information about Matthew’s life or where he spent his time before June 21, 2020?
