and this guy comes out like goddamn Rambo firing his shot I had my hands in the air with no weapon my clip was concealed off Detective my gun was in its holster and concealed I was like this and as he was I said stop talking to my wife and as soon as I finished wife a shot went off and she screamed and he did this and as soon as he did this I duck behind that car and then I grabbed my firearm and I came up over the hood and I just started shooting I emptied two I think two clips I had to replace one I don't even think I [ __ ] hit him how many uh how many round do you have any idea how many round you said you replaced the clip what kind of gun was it 9 mm okay did you bring more than one gun or no one gun just one okay and so tell me I guess tell me how this transpired today you guys were at home when this conversation took place and you decided to leave or or how did that yeah how did that happen like how did you get on the topic like what is this something that's been going on for a while like Oh I thought out about it again 45 45 days this should go I knew about it like I told just so like a month and a half ago yeah I think so right around there maybe a month ago how did you find out uh from a uh a friend of a friend so you confronted around it again yeah and you said this has been going on for N 9 years n and A2 years N9 and A2 years and did they break it off at any point no how did this start do you have any idea they M at a buy her somewhere on her 40th birthday and I found out like three when she was 43 and we had a nice talk you do you love me yes okay come back to me and I trusted her and I never looked at her phone and [ __ ] and then 6 years later a friend says hey man I think your wife's still seing that guy so I confronted her and she didn't lie she said yeah no I have I'm sorry you know and I said well baby I can't go out like this I can't be a you know your husband and you cheating yeah so either either you break it off this time or if I hear about it again we're getting divorced so she said I'll break it off and I trusted her and then that's when we got into the conversation I guess today I said uh so how did you break it off oh you never broke it off you just you haven't seen him since February you never told them get lost stop contacting me we're breaking up okay thing and she goes no I said so what you're just going to wait around for him to call again cuz he'll do that just like he has done and she goes well that makes sense she goes I'll break it off and I said all right she goes let's go now I think it was 8:30 when we got there it was light or just getting dark 9:00 maybe so was her idea to drive to his house to break it off with you yeah wanted to Pro prove it to me you know had you ever been to that house before I've been by it never to it I have I've known where he's lived for six and a half years sure I I get that I mean I would I would be curious too if I was you right like totally well it blew up publicly 6 and 1/2 years ago what do you mean by that a private investigator was hired by this guy's fiance he's just a scumbag he's just always had M uh affairs with married women he's been through three or four fiances okay he's engaged right now sleeping with my wife got a baby on the way with his fiance and she doesn't know about that he's been sleeping with my wife and probably God knows who else you know I see and why he come out of the garage like that bro is beyond me like we got out of the car and this it was it was like this I got about 10 steps and she got to about the hood and I and I backed up it was that fast he was you know he probably knows what I look like I've never seen him before I think he must have known unless he seen my wife and figured that I was her husband I don't know that that could be possible too cuz we were right there did you guys I can't believe this what the [ __ ] man I gu I didn't Defender I I guess I'm the one thing I'm so oh my God was there any phone call to him or anything prior to you guys going up there did she try to call him text them I don't know I don't know what she did did I didn't so you guys are at your house and you decide let's go up there let's yeah you guys break it off were you guys drinking today y okay how about drugs were you doing any drugs Y what were you doing a little cocaine marijuana cocaine and marijuana okay so you're doing cocaine marijuana doing some drinking and you decide to go up there with her yeah I wasn't going to let her go alone and why why was that because his fiance cornered my wife about a year and a half ago foued her from our house mhm to a a Panera Bread and cornered her and threatened her I thought you said the fiance didn't know that they were still hooking up she knew that they were oh she didn't doesn't know that they have still been hooking since May of 21 that's when she got confronted at least that's what she told me so so you guys drive up there and it happens that [ __ ] fast you pull in and you say you just get out of the car and he just comes out of the garage like a police officer like SWAT like SWAT team right at me and as he's running to me I say uh I see him you know at the back of the garage and now now he's moving like a SWAT guy you know quickly yeah and I whoa I go whoa bro and uh I forget if he said something but I said stop uh [ __ ] with my wife or something and as soon as I finished wife bam he shot one right [ __ ] whiz by my head then my wife yells Danny like I could see where her thinking he's going to kill her husband and he looked over and that's all I needed man I got behind that car I grabbed my fire I came over the hood and I just started shooting and he scurried towards the front of the house I didn't go after him M said Kim get in the car let's go that [ __ ] up I should have jumped in the driver's seat was who was in the driver's seat her she was in the driver's seat yes she drove she drove you both there yes and she jumped in the driver's seat I jumped in the passenger seat the same way we arrived you know okay so she drove you guys there yes and you guys get out okay cuz before when you were kind of doing this scenario you said you exited the driver's seat and went behind that one car is what I'm pretty sure that's what you said no it's not I we drove up here I got out this way she got out this way there was a car here and I I either got behind this car or got behind my car I don't know cuz I was backing up mhm and um I think there's a car parked here or two cars parked here you remember how the driveway looked you wer you weren't there no I mean I'm I'm listening to it all there there's some cars here I forget how they were parked I got behind one of them okay but you're telling me that that no point you were driving that vehicle tonight no so you didn't hop in the driver seat and back up or anything like that that's I [ __ ] up that's where I [ __ ] up oh my God so man I mean I I guess I'm trying to wrap my head around the decision making today tonight last night whatever you want to call it at some point you guys decide that you're going to go up there and at some point you probably feel like it's a good idea bad idea I'm not real sure bro I didn't think that the [ __ ] guy was going to be SWAT when I got there what what about you though what about me I mean you know let's be honest here I've never pulled a firearm on a person never I've never discharged a firearm entertain me for a minute here let's be honest here for a second Matt like you're [ __ ] pissed uh no you weren't mad some guy's boinking your wife detective listen and you're not mad about it I've known about this for 6 and a half years right I was mad now you were told it was cut off right yeah and then today you're told it's not cut off 45 days ago I was told it's not cut off 45 days ago correct but then today you said the conversation took place between you guys how you never he never how did it end how but she never ended it right right you're a man I'm a man I've been cheated on before you can't tell me that you weren't [ __ ] pissed six and a half years ago I was but you're saying today you weren't mad at all no not at all so you're just Cool Hand Luke we're going to get in the car yep let's drive up there and and just tell tell them it's over I got your back I got your back yep that's you're I mean I'm guess I'm trying to wrap my head around this it's not that hard oh no it is for me because I know in my situation you know I was very upset yeah it was 6 and a half years ago but like it's no surprise to you it's like then why even talk about it today then why even why even talk about it then with her because I don't want it to continue to go on but it but when she tells you she never really ended it right uh you know what I'm saying like you're telling me it's hey it's all it's all good we're good whatever I don't I don't really give a [ __ ] I didn't say that well I'm just ad libbing right don't add lib okay we won't add lib then you told me that you brought it up today or we're saying yesterday cuz now it's it's past midnight yesterday you're telling me that you guys talked about it and that she never ended it correct correct and you're saying it's her idea to get in the car and drive up there and end it and that you're not mad at all no I'm not mad anymore you you weren't you're not not mad at all you weren't mad driving up there you weren't like you know what I'm going to go talk to this guy and kick his ass nothing like that no no he's from what I gathered he's a lot tougher than I am how you'd never seen the guy you said what from what she told me from what she told you he was a bouncer I guess you know okay so he's a lot tougher than you is that why you took your gun I take my firearm everywhere okay but um but today I was not looking to go fight him so yesterday though and I was not looking to go shoot him after smoking marijuana doing coke drinking you decide it's a good idea to go up there with your firearm and have your wife finally cut it off with the guy she's having an affair with I thought it was going to be easy now I thought it was going to be hey stop calling me I'm done and he was going to say no problem we were going to get in the car and [ __ ] him turn around and go home and you're saying your wife was driving and your wife was in that driver's seat every time you guys went to leave went to do whatever you're saying now that your your wife was in the driver's seat yes she drove there and she got in the driver's seat and put it in reverse to back up correct but the car wouldn't what happened with the car I don't know if we hit something I I it it was smoking maybe he shot it I don't know it wouldn't it wouldn't move what do you mean you were what is that I had it in reverse and it felt like it was stuck either in some mud mhm it it just it would it wasn't going and then it started smoking from the hood and when I saw that I got out of the car so you were it was like was it like I you had it in gear but you were St on the gas Kim was shot she fell over to the side he's shooting at us at this point I hop from the passenger into the driver turn it and I it [ __ ] won't go I got and I'm like this you know mhm and it won't go so then finally I put it in park and I get out and I go behind the vehicle and that's where I called you okay how many mags did you take Lydia two two so what you had in the gun plus two no or just two two one in the gun and then one extra one one in my pocket yep I always got I you always carry one in your pocket okay all right so we were in Reverse leaving when he when I scared him off initially I don't think I hit it all happened too fast for me okay I've never discharged a firearm at someone before okay it all I I I wasn't I don't even think I was aiming for him I just wanted him to get the [ __ ] away so we could get in the car and go [ __ ] man [ __ ] I mean I guess I'm still trying to wrap my head around driving up there to do that I guess I don't I'm trying to understand why yeah in hindsight that was [ __ ] stupid okay that was [ __ ] stupid well it makes sense for for a husband who's pissed that his wife didn't break it off with her boyfriend I mean anybody could understand that I see where you're going with this but the truth is is I'm not upset anymore mat here's here's the issue though here's the issue Matt like think about it when you're try and explain this to people right and you have people that you're trying to say hey you know what I don't give a [ __ ] about this this doesn't bother me I'm not mad about it I'm not mad about it right but you have this scenario where you guys leave from your house in Washington Township and you drive up to Ray Township up North Avenue to 29 mile not granted it's not super far right it's what five miles three miles give or take 10 mies um I forget where where you at on 29 we just take 29 to North Avenue 29 to North Avenue but you're all the way on the uh west side of Washington right so you're talking all right you 15 minutes yeah 15 minutes I don't know anybody that's going to buy this I wasn't mad I went there like all cool all great just thought it was going to be a you know I'm sorry but I don't believe that for a second Matt and and I don't think anybody else does either because it just doesn't make any sense you're going to go to the guy's house that you're having that your wife is having an affair with and you're fine you're not mad but she's going to cut it off with him on a Tuesday night at his house with you there in person in person that makes sense to you that's the trth that that's the truth that's what you're going to settle on is that I'm fine I'm not upset I'm taking my gun with my Extra Magazine we're going to drive high on cocaine and marijuana and drinking up to the GU house I'm not mad at all and he's just going to we're going to everything's going to get broke off and we're all set that's that's the truth that's the truth okay I think it I think I don't think it's the truth I think you were upset I think you were mad that this wasn't cut off the way you asked for it to be cut off and I think anybody could could could believe that anybody could you know anybody could understand how you feel but trying to like try to explain to people that you're not mad about this I I just don't see it well I'm I'm not mad and it makes you look kind of silly I'm I'm not no I'm not I'm not mad about it anymore I was mad about it 6 and a half years ago when I first found out detective Matt your wife's dead yeah there's not a ton to be mad about anymore with that because there's not a damn thing you can do about it now cuz you decided to drive in that car up there cuz you wanted to confront this guy and you wanted to be like stop sleeping with my [ __ ] wife and you got in that driveway and you start you you just saw that son of a [ __ ] and you decided to [ __ ] go after him that's the truth of it and anybody in their right mind could reason with that they could say gosh you know I would probably do the same thing right I mean come on but you're going to sit here and say no no I'm not man we just decided to drive up there it was no big deal hey bro just deal but I'm not I'm not mad well you're all nonchalant about it not mad about itmore your wife's dead now she's [ __ ] dead okay you got this guy that was at at his house barbecuing chicken and you pull in the driveway and I guarantee you is any man alive who the hell wants some other dude banging their wife nobody nobody does you don't marry somebody to let a bunch of other people bang them right you don't you don't want your wife running around on you your wife is not supposed to do that and you're not supposed to do it so anybody could understand why you would go up there pissed and want to confront this guy but this story of like no not mad we're going to go up there she's just going to handle her business and say hey we're done stop calling me [ __ ] and I was supposed I'm behind I'm there I'm behind her but listen things changed when you drove up and you went up that driveway and you saw that guy out there grilling chicken like his life is totally fine and you got to deal with your wife sleeping around on you behind your back something changed mat and anybody can understand what changed you got pissed didn't you I raised my voice you got man I called him stop [ __ ] with my wife the minute you saw that [ __ ] you got pissed I mean you were probably mad on the drive there no I wasn't when when I saw him yeah I got out of the car and I went straight to him and like this oh do you understand I think I I went like this I went to I went to [ __ ] him and I got to about here and then I did this and you did that because you go to [ __ ] him and he pulls a gun up he had that [ __ ] gun out I saw him through the car by the time I got out of the the door and and got three or four steps he was yeah I saw he had it he had it and he was coming at me you know like like Commando style you know like this mhm and I go whoa bro Matt did you have your pistol out prior to that no you didn't come out of that car with your no absolutely not my both my hands were I think anybody could understand no in a in a in a heat of passion right there you see this dude no that wasn't the point of going there detective the point of going there was maybe something changed when you pull in man you see you put eyes on this dude you pull that [ __ ] gun out and you're just like you know what [ __ ] this guy no I'm I you know hey he's tough I'm not going to be able to fight him but I'll shoot his ass nope not even close I'm not a [ __ ] idiot I didn't go there I didn't go there to go to jail for my R you're a man you're a man I'm smarter than that you have some pride I got loud with him but I did not my pistol was in its holster underneath my shirt he did not know I had a firearm it was concealed and he came at me with his first I backed up like this and I said to him stop [ __ ] with my wife boom Danny she he looks left I go down and I pulled my pistol out then I started shooting that's how it went down you got it tough because you got his whole family live in those three houses and they'll all they'll all lie that's the truth detective there's people that were there that don't have any relation to anybody that saw what you did welome so sometimes you got to think about things like this man at the end of the day you have explanations right and you have reasoning and and normal people can wrap their heads around some things right but see when you go in into let's say a courtroom for instance and you have these people maybe his family say no he's the greatest guy on Earth he didn't do anything blah blah blah blah blah maybe they say that right fine there we expect that to happen right you say I'm not mad strove up there and you know she's just going to cut it off and I'm not manad I was fine I was mad 6 years ago but not today but hey we're going to get in the car and drive 15 20 minutes anyway to go talk to this guy okay people are going to go what you're not mad what do you mean you're not mad so you pull in the driveway you got a gun with you an extra magazine just let me finish and then here you are you see the [ __ ] that has just been prying into your head for however long right 9 years 6 years taking shots at your manhood your pride because somebody else is doing stuff to your wife and that's any man could wrap their head around that right and you got these independent witnesses that sit there and go yeah I watch this dude get out of that car point a handgun towards the guy in the backyard and start [ __ ] shooting and then here in the backyard and here you are backyard driveway whatever back of the driveway towards the backyard no that's that's not where was okay where was he then he was in the garage okay so you start you started shooting at him in the garage no no he started in the back of the garage and he came out of the garage Commando style I was backing up right got around the car so Matt if these independent Witnesses who have no ties anybody oh he's got that many friends e they were at his house is that what you're saying no nope detective they live in the country they don't have neighbors I know where they live I grew up up there they don't have neighbors oh yeah there's people that drive up and down that road there's people that are out for walks with their dogs and fields around there there's all kinds of people out there that look out and look what the heck's going on down there detective what's going somebody driving their car and they look over and they watch some guy jump out of a white Jeep and just go Bam Bam Bam Bam and just not that did not happen was anybody else outside when you were there I don't know you don't know it all happened so quickly we pulled up and she goes there he go right there we get out of the car and it happened just like I told you in [ __ ] like 3 seconds and you don't remember anybody else being there at all no no recollection of anybody else L later when um when the police officers were there I saw people but no as it detective this happened in like five freaking seconds he came at me with a gun he shot at me I got behind the car I pulled my pistol out I popped above the hood and started shooting my wife and I got in the car then he came back around and as we were leaving shot my wife and killed her mat are your parents still alive yes my dad died at Christmas okay well I'm sorry to hear that when you were younger growing up with your parents do you ever remember the old adage of like hey you know tell the truth speak the truth that's why I'm talking to you here take take always tell the truth you know take your lumps right like I always tell the truth when when you got in trouble with your parents mhm and you lied to them right mhm were your parents more mad or less mad if you lied to them versus tell the more mad more mad when you lied right right so if your dad was asking you something about hey you know did you hit the baseball through the neighbor's window and you're like nope dad I didn't I didn't break the neighbor's window I don't know what happened I was out there you know we were you know whatever playing uh catch but no I never went near the neighbor's house we never threw the ball that way how you know however the neighbor down the street says [ __ ] hey we saw him hit the ball accidentally into the window and break it right your dad's going to be like hey why didn't you just tell me the truth right right yeah and he's going to be more mad that you lied right maybe less mad he's still going to be mad detective but you look at I'm telling the truth 110% 110% that's why I feel comfortable telling you here cuz I have nothing to hide if I had something to hide I would call my lawyer and have him tell you I guess but I have that's the truth 110% what did you do more are you have a issue also no what about her no no no okay H

__ ] man play the what if scenario here but um honestly man I mean you know you drove up to his house you know what I mean like I don't know how this is going to play out I really don't the truth prevails hopefully it does so um are you going to uh get those cameras right now we are gathering we got a lot we got a lot of evidence to gather so are they're at the house we're we're going to be taking care of all that they're processing the scene immediately right it's yeah we're not we're not leaving there until we get everything we need to get um okay good you know so it won't be tampered with is my point you ain't going to go back there I I don't know why I would say that of course you wouldn't go back tomorrow you're they're there D now we were there from the this when you got put in the back of the police car our guys never left okay so oh my God so sit tight for a minute okay I'll be right back with you all right oh my God oh my God my wife is dead oh my God no Kimmy Kimmy Kimmy H oh KY yeah mat so you got you got anything else you want to talk about or know that's how it happened that's it that's it that's it huh okay all right all right so okay go ahead you were going to ask that the only thing when he came out of the garage and I got behind that car I forget where we were standing that's the only thing I may have been shooting into the garage at that point okay did you shoot in any other direction at any point in time well yeah he's shooting at me and my wife were in yeah I mean besides that direction here was the grass you remember point your gun at anybody else I had people come yeah I had people coming from the lawn and I remember a girl and I noticed it was a girl and I let her go I didn't I didn't know so you did you point you pointed a your gun at a at a girl she was running at me okay and and she was got to 10 ft from me I I was like this where is this guy and then I went like and then she ran behind the man that's the only person I remember seeing some other people on the lawn too running towards me but she's the only one that got close to me before we got in the car oh my god did anybody say anything to you when this girl was running up on you I don't know you don't remember oh he was shooting at us um I'm just asking cuz I got before you said nobody else was out there now you're saying there's a girl and a bunch of people on the lawn yeah that was so remember that yeah okay so you do remember these people outside yeah okay at any point in time did you fire at them no you didn't fire in their Direction no y okay did you point the gun at her maybe yeah initially probably okay cuz I someone was coming at me okay but when I saw it when I turned towards her she ran the other way and I turned back towards him and here was the garage here's the front door here's the side of the house this this is the direction I shot in till eventually he went around the side of the house and detective he was if this is the garage like you got two cars here this is the door to get in he was in the middle of the garage here okay that's where he pulled his firearm and then he came out of the garage Commando style and we were parked about here and he came from here like out here and there was a car here I think bu a car okay there was another car here block you know there was a car here would it be easier for you to draw it out no no do you want to write a statement or anything no no what I told you was should I have my attorney write a statement can have your attorney do whatever you you guys want to do you know so that's between you guys am I going to need an attorney I can't give you legal advice I can advise you of what's going to happen from here on out am I going be charged with a crime you're being detained right now okay so technically you're under arrest right now okay we have uh we have a few days before we have to like formally charge you if we are so we we're going to basically uh we're going to be presenting this case to the prosecutor's office they're going to make a determination if there's any charges once we have all our evidence but right now you're not going anywhere so you're going to be sitting you're going to be sitting in uh in the this County Jail here for at least a day or two right so we are we do have enough evidence to hold you for right now till this all gets sorted out when will you know if there are cameras on the house we already know there are oh beautiful beautiful so the only problem is is they don't show him in the garage they will they will show me backing up and getting around the car we'll see what it shows that should prove my point right if you see that backing up with no firearm in my hand getting behind the car well you'll see you'll hear I don't know if if they got sound but detective 110% he pulled his firearm first came at me I went like this and then he fired a shot at me just the way I said 110% I'm not lying okay all right um we are uh we also have oh my God we also have a search warrant for your body too so we're going to take pictures of you and all that stuff okay right swabs and things if you in case you have blood on you or whatever so all right um if you want to know as far as your wife goes um she's going to be transported to the me medical examiner's office they're going to be conducting an autopsy honor so that's going to be happening in the next day or so how does my family get informed uh we're going to be taking care of that do you have her parents phone number we are going to be tracking all that down do you know her parents phone number yes okay so you could go get them all right oh my God oh my God guys good yeah all right these guys are going to take you back okay go go and stand up ah let turn around for us so like I said they're going to come down they're going to conduct a that search warrant on you uh in a little bit okay and then uh we'll go from there okay make it right Matthew Malone was booked into the mome county jail and charged with one count of first-degree felony murder four counts of felony firearm possession one count of assault with intent to murder one count of carrying a weapon with unlawful intent and one count of assault with a dangerous weapon if convicted of the highest charge he faced a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole in the months following the incident investigators discovered that just hours before the shooting Kimberly had confided in a friend about Matthew's Behavior the previous day allegedly there had been an altercation during which Kimberly was struck on the head with a glass picture frame at the time of her autopsy the medical examiner found fresh abrasions on her body and cuts on her scalp help which was later admitted as evidence at trial investigators also learned that Kimberly had made several thousands of dollars in payments to Daniel's debit and credit accounts from the family business in early 2022 during the trial assistant mome County prosecutor Steve Fox argued the evidence will show when he went there with a gun with two loaded magazines with a screaming wife to confront her lover inside his own home he would have known it would bring a risk of great bodily harm or death he intentionally created that risk that's enough he's responsible for Kim's death the defense maintained that Daniel fired the first shot igniting the deadly shootout in May 20124 Matthew was found guilty of the Lesser charges of voluntary manslaughter assault with intent to murder and three counts of felony firearm possession 2 months later a mome County circuit court judge sentenced to serve 86 months to 15 years for the manslaughter 12 to 40 years for the assault to be served simultaneously and 2 years for each firearm count to run consecutively with those sentences Matthew will likely spend a significant amount of his remaining years behind bars his life forever changed by that fateful confrontation
