How they died
Deadly force
Police fired at the unarmed Matthews 10 times, killing him, as Matthews fled from five deputies trying to serve an armed robbery warrant. A grand jury found "murky circumstances" and suggested that a knife found nearby might have been planted, as they chose to indict one of the deputies for murder. The charges were eventually dropped for lack of physical evidence.
