Captain Jack Kennedy, with Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit, said the deceased suspect was leading a police chase involving Hale County Sheriff’s Office deputies and Moundville officers when they crossed into Tuscaloosa County around 2:30 a.m. At that point, Tuscaloosa authorities joined the chase and officers were able to successfully spike the suspect vehicle’s tires in the area of Northport.
The suspect was later identified as Matthew Matherson, 38, of Hale County.
“The suspect vehicle came to a stop at Bell Auto Parts (410 Bridge Ave Northport, AL),” Kennedy said. “Shots were fired by the suspect and law enforcement at this location, and the suspect is deceased.”
Kennedy did not specify the agency of the officer/deputy who killed the suspect.
An investigation into the shooting is being conducted by investigators not associated with the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff’s Office.
