Matthew Cole Bishop was 19 and from Carthage when he was killed on the evening of December 29, 2016. He was driving south on Midway Road in Leake County when another vehicle carrying five men pulled alongside and a shotgun blast struck him in the head. His car lost driver control and the vehicle became the scene of the fatal incident.

Family and friends described Matthew as a mechanic who enjoyed working on cars and spending time with loved ones. His funeral was held January 4, 2017, at the Wilcox Chapel, with burial at Goshen Cemetery. Investigators determined the attack appeared targeted, but no arrests or publicly named suspects have been announced and the five men in the other car remain unidentified.

Does anyone who lived near Midway Road in late December 2016 or who knew Matthew have information that could help move this investigation forward?
