On the evening of November 20, 2021, 22-year-old Daquelle Matthews was standing outside a 7-Eleven on Salem Street in Malden, Massachusetts, when a vehicle with several people inside pulled up. After a brief interaction, a passenger in the car opened fire, striking Matthews multiple times. First responders transported him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead; the Office of the Medical Examiner ruled his death a homicide.

A joint investigation by the Malden Police Department and the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office used surveillance footage and witness interviews to identify the vehicle and locate it at a Somerville residence. Forensic analysis tied the car to two people identified by investigators as the driver, Isaiah Sautier, and the passenger alleged to have fired the shots, 19-year-old Antonio Rufo-Sanon.

Isaiah Sautier was arrested and arraigned on December 2, 2021, charged with accessory after the fact to murder and accessory after the fact to assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. Antonio Rufo-Sanon was arrested on December 13, 2021, and charged with the murder of Daquelle Matthews.

Does anyone have information about Matthews, his last movements that night, or witnesses who saw the vehicle on Salem Street?
