Thursday, April 16, 2009
Chattanooga Police have identified a man killed in his home around 9:30 this morning as 24-year old Matt Coyle. Police responded to the residence after receiving a frantic call of a person shot at 7616 Standifer Gap Road .
Coyle’s girlfriend advised police that they were both asleep in bed when they were awakened by a loud noise. Coyle got up to see what the commotion was and when he opened the door, he was shot in the head. Responding EMS pronounced Coyle dead at the scene.
No motive for the crime has been determined however neighbors in the area have reported some recent burglaries. Major Crimes and Crime Scene Investigators are on-scene gathering evidence and police are talking to a person of interest. Other suspect leads have also surfaced however there have been no arrests. More details will be released as information becomes available.

situations like this is why i go to the door armed after dark. i peek first, but usually the dog is raising hell so no one has come in to my front yard yet. a 85 pound Pit Bull is a good first line of defense.

This SOOO does NOT sound like a "random act" of burglary.

You have a nose for mayhem. "Methinks she doth protest too much".

What were they doing in bed at 9:30 am?! Well...nevermind.
Perhaps they both work 3rd shift somewhere.

Hey, LE's -- are these thugs familiar faces to you? Have they been involved in a series of criminal complaints in the past? Also, do they have family members with criminal records, criminal complaints? I wonder which middle & HS they infected attended?
It would be interesting reading to see what Paul Harvey would have called "the rest of the story" whenever home-grown thugs hit the big time having been arrested for a major crime under their thuggish, pants-down belts. They're just the most recent generation to have been stewed to prison-prep perfection in a community-wide, well seasoned criminal cauldron -- let's hear some pertinent background info if possible ....

Or how many times were they in juvi?

I obviously dont have all the fact to case and Im sure that would help tie the loose ends up, but I just a bit more (something that ties them to the area, etc) |
