His son, Noah, was shot and killed in the line of duty eight months ago.
Losing Noah in the line of duty in July of 2022 is a pain that will never go away for his family and brothers and sisters in blue. "Even today, I think this can't be happening. This isn't my life right now. I can't comprehend what's happened," said Matt Shahnavaz."It's really a daily struggle. There hasn't been a day that goes by where at some point in the day tears come and it could be triggered by anything," he said."Honestly, when I am in this community this building it provides a level of comfort that really helps," said Shahnavaz.
"I hope it helps them get through things and understand what what a true public servant heart is and that's what their son Noah had. He definitely had a servant's heart," said Elwood Police Chief Jason Brizendine."He loved his job. He loved helping the citizens of Elwood. He was always looking for ways to help other people. He had such an amazing impact in the time he was given just so sad he wasn't able to provide more and give more.
