Mattix is being charged with one count of aggravated assault and murder.

He allegedly shot one other person in the leg.

“I’ll say at approximately 1:45 a.m. an altercation broke out in a little club called Trackside. From what we gather it was just an issue they had in the club, and then it escalated into what it escalated.”

Mattix’s bond hearing will be Monday.
