A Concord native was murdered earlier this month near his home in the Philippines, according to WMUR-TV. 

Matthew Caldwell, 59, was shot and killed on his birthday, according to the report, after an argument with a security guard at a subdivision where he was living. The guard allegedly shot Caldwell and fled, according to a family member.
