Matthew Joseph Wiser, a 39-year-old economics professor at the University of South Alabama, was found fatally shot inside his Mobile home on Gaillard Drive on the afternoon of November 20, 2019 after colleagues requested a welfare check when he failed to report to work. Mobile Police treated the death as a homicide and said it appeared to have occurred during a home invasion and burglary.

Investigators tied the crime to a string of burglaries and said a stolen Nintendo Switch belonging to Wiser provided a crucial lead when someone connected the device to the internet after the murder. That connection helped police locate two 20-year-olds, Tiquez Timmons and Derric Scott, who were charged with murder in December 2019; authorities said a GPS in Timmons’ vehicle placed him near the scene and that investigators believe Scott fired the fatal shot. A third man, Curtis Anthony Womack Jr., 23, was also charged in February 2020.

Does anyone have information about Wiser’s movements in the days before November 20, 2019, or about burglaries in that neighborhood at the time?
