Assassination of Jack Murdock

The Assassination of Jack Murdock was the murder of boxer Jack Murdock, father of Matthew Murdock, by Roscoe Sweeney and his men.

Background
Jack Murdock was scheduled to fight Carl Creel. He was meant to take a dive and lose the fight intentionally and receive a large sum of money from Roscoe Sweeney. He went on to win the fight, being cheered for the first time. He quickly changed out of his ring gear in hopes that he could get out of the arena in time before he was spotted by Sweeney's men.

Assassination
Late into the night Sweeney and his men caught up with Murdock. They shot him dead in an alley.

Aftermath
After hearing the gunshot, Jack's son, Matthew ran out into the street to see what happened. He was stopped by police as he approached the alley. He ran up to his father and cried as he had realized that his father had been murdered. This would be a defining moment for young Matthew Murdock as he would help lead him down the pah of seeking justice through his career as a lawyer and later as the masked vigilante, Daredevil.
