Illegal Who Murdered Beloved Restaurant Owner Sentenced To Prison

An illegal immigrant from Mexico, Ulises Martinez, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for second-degree murder after crashing his truck into restaurant owner Matthew Carney during an attempted robbery. The incident occurred on June 19, 2024, outside of Smokin Thighs, a Nashville chicken restaurant owned by Carney. Martinez and another undocumented immigrant, Adrian Diaz-Aguirre, rammed into Carney, causing fatal injuries. Carney died weeks later. Martinez, who required an interpreter, pleaded guilty to murder, evidence tampering, and theft. He is expected to be deported after his sentence. The case gained national attention, with former President Donald Trump citing it as an example of a 'migrant crime wave' during his 2024 campaign. Martinez had previously been released from jail after charges were dropped by a Nashville judge due to lack of probable cause.
