The suspect in this case is Nyee Matalyo Duncan, an 18-year-old male who was charged with capital murder.
According to witnesses, Duncan entered the residence and went straight to the back bedroom where Dixon and Mathews were sleeping. After shooting them, Duncan walked into the living room and began shooting at customers present in the house, wounding one person and attempting to shoot another. Duncan then fled the scene but was later arrested after a vehicle pursuit and foot chase.
