Matthew and his ex-wife Georgina Misener were battling for custody of their three children. Thus, things were not going well between the former married couple. At the time, Georgina was in a romantic relationship with another man named Eduardo Montano Jr.

Reportedly, on February 10, 2020, Eduardo Montano Jr. shot Matthew's black Chevrolet car 14 times when it reached the Horseshoe Curve, located between Clifton and Morenci. This led to Matthew losing control of the car on US Route 191.
