FBI Chicago Announces Reward of Up to $50,000 for Information Leading to Arrest and Conviction of Joseph “Troubles” Matos
Douglas S. DePodesta, special agent in charge of the Chicago Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), announced a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Joseph “Troubles” Matos.
Matos is wanted in connection with the shooting death of National Guard member Chrys Carvajal. On July 3, 2021, it is alleged that Matos and a fellow gang member randomly shot and killed Carvajal when he was walking to his car following a party. \
Matos is believed to be a member of the Milwaukee Kings street gang, a criminal organization whose members and associates have engaged in narcotics trafficking and committed acts of violence, including murder and assault, to acquire and preserve the gang’s perceived territory on the North Side of Chicago, Illinois.
On May 14, 2024, an arrest warrant was issued for Matos in the United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, Chicago, Illinois, after he was charged with murder- in-aid of racketeering and murder through the use of a firearm.
Matos has the following tattoos: “M-Town Kings” on the right side of his neck; “1300” on the left side of his neck; “Move in Silence” on his right hand; “Trust no one” on his left hand; “MOST WANTED” on his belly; “Heavensent, Hellbound” on his forearms; and “Jesus Christopher Matos” on his chest.
Previously, the FBI Chicago Field Office offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information from the public.
Matos should be considered armed and dangerous, and members of the public are asked not to approach him directly. Anyone with information, even anonymously, is strongly encouraged to call 1-800-CALL-FBI or submit a tip at tips.fbi.gov.
