Richard Matthew Matt Tangherlini was 27 when he was shot and killed on October 5, 2015, in a robbery connected to a marijuana sale. The incident began as a transaction that devolved into violence; investigators described the shooting as occurring during an attempted robbery tied to the sale.

Tangherlini was a 2006 graduate of Southeastern Regional Vocational-Technical High School and an active member of South Shore Customs. Family and friends remembered him as a positive, spiritually minded person who loved cars and took time to connect with people from all walks of life.

Authorities identified 22-year-old Evyn Garner of Abington as the person who attempted to rob Tangherlini, and Garner was arrested and charged in connection with the killing. A conviction followed and Garner was scheduled for sentencing in November 2017.

If anyone knew Matt, his movements that day, or has information about the case, please share what is known.
