Paris Quentin Matthews, a 32-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on April 29, 2013, in his apartment at the Rene Lynn Apartments on Woodham Street in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. Two men knocked at his door around midnight; when Matthews opened it they forced their way in and shot him in the upper body. He was taken to Fort Walton Beach Medical Center and died shortly afterward.

Witnesses saw two Black males with their faces partially covered run on the north side of the apartment complex after the shooting. The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office has conducted numerous interviews and publicly appealed for information, but the suspects’ identities remain unknown. Friends and family remember Matthews as kind-hearted and say he had planned to return to a friend’s house that night but never did.

Does anyone who lived near the Rene Lynn Apartments in 2013 or who knew Paris have information that could help the investigation?
