Charles Nokey Matthews was 37 when he was killed by gunfire in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on April 1, 2010. A certified crane and heavy equipment operator and a native resident of the city, Matthews was also known by the nickname Nokey. The shooting occurred the same evening Darryl Bleek Milton was fatally shot, a double homicide that suggested a targeted and violent confrontation.

Investigators linked the incident to a wider set of shootings in the area; early reports said as many as seven people faced charges connected to those incidents, but the precise role of any individual in Matthews and Milton’s deaths was not clearly detailed. Unofficial accounts and local discussion later named two individuals by street names, Marlo Mike and Lil Ken, as alleged shooters, though detailed official information about charges or court outcomes in this double homicide remained unclear.

If anyone knew Charles, Darryl, their movements on April 1, 2010, or has information about the shooting, please share what is known.
