On the night of April 8, 2014, 48-year-old Matthew S. Glassford was fatally shot on the 500 block of W. Concordia Ave. in Milwaukee’s River West neighborhood. Emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene; an autopsy found two gunshot wounds to the chest and back and his death was ruled a homicide.

Investigators tied three men to the killing: Corren Mattox, Terry Blunt and Davontay Ballinger. According to the criminal complaint, the men had planned to rob Glassford. Blunt knew Glassford as Matt and believed he might be carrying money. Mattox reportedly told Blunt where a .22 caliber rifle had been hidden; Blunt retrieved it and concealed it in his sleeve. The complaint says Glassford tried to flee onto a porch and bang for help; Blunt pursued him, demanded money, shot him twice, and the three then fled.

All three were arrested. Mattox and Blunt pleaded guilty to felony murder; Mattox was sentenced to 14 years plus 10 years extended supervision, and Blunt to 18 years plus 12 years extended supervision. Ballinger, who acted as a lookout, also accepted a felony murder plea. Glassford’s stepdaughter, who had Down syndrome, had to be placed in a group home after his death.
