At Rest

Deadly force
About 11:10 p.m., patrol officers responded to a welfare check call. Upon arrival, the officers observed Jose Campos Jr. standing in the middle of the street holding a handgun. Officers ordered Campos to drop the weapon. Campos reportedly raised the weapon to his head and told officers they would have to shoot him. He then fired his weapon. A preliminary investigation by Medical Examiner determined Mr. Campos died from a close range gunshot to the head. Officer White does not appear to have struck Campos, when officer discharged his long rifle.
This record exists so that Jose Luis Campos Jr., and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
