Vital Statistics

Circumstances of Offense:

Authorities allege that Matthew shot four people outside a bar following a fistfight. Tragically, both Jason and Brandon died from their injuries. Matthew is still at large and is now on the FBI’s Featured Fugitives website. The FBI says that Matthew has ties to Sacramento, California; Chicago, Louisiana, and Colorado. Matthew has previously been employed in a public library.

Additional Details:

Anyone with information on Matthew’s whereabouts should contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324). Matthew should be considered extremely dangerous. Please consider sharing this so that Jason and Brandon’s families can get justice and answers in their loved one’s cases. I also want to thank the Denver Police Department and the FBI for keeping this case in the public’s eye and not forgetting about Jason and Brandon.
