He was later pronounced dead.
Matkins was serving a life sentence without parole for the murder of James Willie Askins Jr. on Christmas Day in 1982. Matkins was indicted for Askins’ murder on February 25, 1983, and was sentenced on December 3, 1986, court records show.
Court records show that his life sentence was because he was considered a habitual offender, given that he was charged with second-degree murder for shooting and killing Curtis Kirby with a pistol in 1977.
