An Attorney Convicted of Attempted Murder at a Restaurant Opening, Kimberly Sullivan Rejects Two Plea Deals, Mackenzie Shirilla's Last Door

A Lucas County jury convicted attorney Matthew Exton, 43, of attempted murder, two counts of felonious assault and multiple firearm specifications Friday, in the April 2025 armed confrontation at the opening night of Sabira restaurant in Toledo. He was acquitted on a third assault count. Prosecutor Julia Bates said Exton "came with anger in him and with the intention to commit a public execution of his ex-wife," and credited restaurant employees and patrons — including a waiter who tackled him — as heroes. Exton testified in his own defense, admitting he pointed the gun but disputing intent, and was removed from the courtroom during closing arguments after repeatedly interrupting. Sentencing is set for later this month. Also: in Waterbury, Connecticut, Kimberly Sullivan, 57, rejected two plea offers — including a judge's offer with a ten-year floor — in the case alleging she held her stepson captive for roughly twenty years. She has pleaded not guilty and maintains her innocence; pretrial motions are set for October 20, with jury selection possible in January. And the Ohio Supreme Court has closed Mackenzie Shirilla's post-conviction case without any court ruling on the merits, after her attorneys filed one day past the deadline.
