Julio Joel Matos was 32 when he was murdered in Nashville, Tennessee, on September 10, 2008. The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department opened a homicide investigation, but the case has stalled in part because investigators lacked sufficient witness statements to identify suspects or establish a clear motive.

The investigation remains open with the homicide unit describing the case as cold but active. Advances in forensic technology have been noted as a potential avenue for future progress, and no arrests have been made to date. Family and friends were left to cope with the sudden and violent loss.

If anyone has information about Julio Joel Matos or the events of September 10, 2008, please contact the Nashville Police Department’s homicide unit.
