Richard Matthews, 51, was fatally shot on April 25, 2018, in Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood. The shooting was ruled a homicide and prompted an extensive investigation by the Chicago Police Department.

Investigators identified and questioned several suspects, and months after the killing law enforcement made multiple arrests on charges that included first-degree murder and illegal possession of firearms. At trial the primary defendant was found guilty of first-degree murder, a verdict that was reported to have brought some measure of closure to Matthews’ family and the community.

Matthews’ death underscores the human cost of gun violence in neighborhoods like South Shore. Does anyone with information about Richard Matthews, his last known movements, or the case have details to share with investigators?
