Police said they are investigating the homicide, but further information was not immediately available.

A neighbor called 911 and ran to help. The woman did not want to be identified, but told Channel 11’s Lori Houy she heard two shots fired and found Campbell lying on a porch.

“I wanted to help him, but he already was passed away,” she said. “I worked in EMS before, so I don't want to say it totally shocked me, but it shocked me. I worry about my kids. They were worried about me getting shot. They were yelling at me, ‘Don't go. Don't go,’ but I had to try to help.”
