On 07/16/2024
, at 9:08 PM, while sitting in my patrol car at central precinct, I heard several gunshots coming from West 32nd Street and Montgomery Street. I immediately notified dispatch and quickly responded to the area.
As I was driving to the scene, I observed a black male wearing all black ( Caleb Campbell ), running west on West 32nd Street. I aired the description to dispatch and attempted to track the individual. As I was approaching the intersection I observed a black male wearing a white T-shirt ( [VICTIM ] ), running after Caleb. [VICTIM ] yelled “That’s him, go get him, he went that way!” pointing west across Martin Luther King Boulevard. I notified dispatch of his potential direction of travel and canvassed the immediate area. I was unable to locate Caleb.
A crime scene was established at [300 BLOCK] West 32nd Street, the [VICTIM ]’s residence.
I observed a blue Ford Expedition with multiple bullet holes on the passenger side of the windshield. [300 BLOCK] West 32nd Street also had ballistic damage.
Shell casings were located on the north side of the street near the Convenience mart. I assisted detectives with gathering footage of the incident.
While gathering footage at the Convenience Mart, Detective Carles informed me that Caleb is [VICTIM ]’s son. Caleb allegedly got into an argument with [VICTIM ], produced a firearm, and began shooting at him. The footage I reviewed confirmed this statement and captured Caleb back peddling while shooting at his father.
Major Crimes, Forensics, Sgt Colon, and the shift Lieutenant were on scene.
