CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A former Nashville paramedic has been indicted for murder in connection with a 2021 double homicide involving the deaths of his wife and father-in-law.

According to the Clarksville Police Department, 35-year-old Matthew David Konen was arrested in Sumner County on Wednesday and booked into the Montgomery County Jail Thursday morning. Upon further investigation, the case was presented again to a Grand Jury.

In January 2021, Clarksville police opened an investigation into the shooting deaths of 30-year-old Rachel Konen and 62-year-old David Rodgers. A few months later, Clarksville authorities arrested Matthew.

At the time, a spokesperson for the Nashville Fire Department told News 2 that Matthew had been a paramedic with the agency for four years and had been hired in March 2017.

The state of Tennessee dropped the charges against Matthew in October 2023. He had pleaded not guilty throughout the case.

The Grand Jury charged Konen with two counts of first-degree murder. Konen's bond has been set at $1 million. His attorney declined to comment.
