As previously reported, back in February, Mattox was found guilty of second-degree murder in the death of Tony Gill, 46, who was killed at Carter’s convenience store and gas station in Gretna. The jury also convicted Mattox of using a firearm in public, causing injury, and firing a weapon from a vehicle.
According to autopsy reports, Gill, a Franklin County high school teacher, died from a gunshot wound to the face.
Mattox told investigators that he and Gill were cousins and had been traveling with two other individuals from Franklin County.
