Mooresville Police Announce Reward For Info In Deadly Shooting

MOORESVILLE, N.C. -- Mooresville investigators hope an additional $10,000 in reward money will entice someone to come forward with new information in the slaying of a man during a home invasion.On June 9, Matthew Stewart was gunned down inside his home on Shepherd Hill Drive as he lay in bed with his wife and young son.On Thursday, Mooresville police, Stewart's family and the governor's office announced they’re offering a combined $11,000 reward for information that leads to the killer.“Hopefully this will kind of re-energize people in the community who may have information,” said Mooresville police Chief Carl Robbins.Investigators are not revealing many details about the investigation, but autopsy results show Stewart was beaten, stabbed and shot at least five times with two different guns.The violence is still unsettling to Stewart’s neighbors, who said they hope the reward money will convince someone to come forward."The fact that they are upping the reward, I think they think there is somebody that knows something," said neighbor and family friend Danielle Allen.“I want to see that person caught as soon as possible so we can feel safe again in our community,” neighbor Tim Gudhsall said.Stewart's wife, Angela, was also shot in the arm during the attack but survived. Eyewitness News asked investigators if she's been ruled out as a suspect, but police would only say she's been very cooperative.Anyone with information is asked to call the Mooresville Police Department at 704-664-3311.
