- The FBI, in a Tuesday alert, raised the reward to $50,000 for tips that lead to the arrest and conviction of Joseph “Troubles” Matos.
- Matos was indicted in May 2024 for murder in aid of racketeering, with prosecutors alleging the killing aimed to boost standing in the Milwaukee Kings gang.
- Investigators say Gary “Gotti” Roberson was the gunman and was arrested on May 16, 2024, while video evidence places Matos as the getaway driver.
- Cook County prosecutors declined to file charges in 2021 after an early arrest, and the case later moved forward in federal court under racketeering statutes.
- Carvajal, 19, was shot on July 3, 2021 in Belmont Cragin while walking to his car, and the FBI urges tips at 1-800-CALL-FBI or tips.fbi.gov, warning Matos is armed and dangerous and has distinctive neck and hand tattoos.
