CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Close to two decades after a Fort Campbell soldier was murdered outside a Clarksville nightspot, investigators are still looking for the person responsible.
It was around 2:30 a.m. on a Saturday morning in September 2006 when officers with the Clarksville Police Department were called to the River’s Edge nightclub. A bystander reportedly dialed 911 to let authorities know someone had been shot in the parking lot.

When they arrived, police found 21-year-old Edwin Mathurin dead. Edwin, who was originally from Missouri, was serving as a soldier in the U.S. Army and was stationed at Fort Campbell at the time of his death.
Investigators believe a fight may have led up to the shooting. However, other details surrounding the incident are murky. To this day, his murder remains unsolved, with Monday, Sept. 2 marking 18 years without answers.
As the search for Mathurin’s killer continues, his case is now among a handful of unsolved murders in which tipsters could be eligible for a reward of up to $10,000.
