The dawn of December 18, 2010 broke very cold and windy. Police Officers had already strung crime scene tape around the parking lot by the time the detectives and forensics technicians arrived on scene. Police cars were parked, crowded, along the narrow street. On nearby porches, a few bystanders in pajamas watched.
Behind an apartment building, at the end of a cul-de-sac that runs off Hooker Road, the body of Larry Maurice Campbell was sprawled out on the pavement, not far from a car. There was a large pool of blood beneath his head, and his eyes were open.
Detectives from the Major Crimes Unit began a homicide investigation that morning. Through several weeks of interviews, phone calls, neighborhood canvasses, and more interviews, the truth of how Larry Campbell died finally came to light.
Today the investigation into the murder of Larry Campbell comes to an end. Two young men, Paris White and Joshua Smith, pleaded guilty to killing Campbell. They will each serve a minimum of 10 years in prison.
The end of this case brings closure to a family of Larry Campbell, and ends a criminal investigation, but it won't bring Larry Campbell back to life.
