How they died
Deadly force
Police conducting narcotics surveillance saw two people approach Joshua Madison's Nissan Maxima in a South Side KFC parking lot at about 1 p.m. Officer Robert Campbell and another officer blocked Madison and his girlfriend with their unmarked car. Campbell reportedly leaned into the passenger window, gun drawn, and Madison accelerated. Campbell fired about a dozen shots. No drugs or weapons were found. Madison's family filed a wrongful death lawsuit. During Campbell's deposition, he acknowledged a drinking problem that caused him to become irritable and provoke physical altercations. On July 8, 2014, about two weeks later, police and paramedics conducted a well-being check at Campbell's apartment and found him hanging from a belt. In June 2015, Campbell's family received a $1 million settlement.
