On the evening of August 6, 2025, 17-year-old Matthew ’Matt Matt’ Devon Isaiah Rackley was shot and killed in Athens, Tennessee, in the area of Tell Street and Howard Street. The attack was described by authorities as a targeted shooting; another man was wounded in the incident.

Police named Carlos Quintana as a person of interest and said surveillance footage showed him fleeing the scene. Quintana was described as a convicted felon with prior probation violations and a past attempted robbery arrest. A multi-agency search — including the U.S. Marshals Service and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation — led to his capture at a Bradley County residence. Authorities also announced they had identified a second suspect whose name has not been released.
