Charles J. R. Campbell, a 41-year-old African American man, was found dead in Harvey, Illinois, on August 22, 2017. His body showed multiple gunshot wounds, and investigators describe the killing as a targeted, premeditated homicide rather than a random act.

The Harvey Police Department opened an extensive investigation and questioned several suspects while pursuing numerous leads. Investigators reported a lack of eyewitnesses and concrete evidence hampered the inquiry. Some unconfirmed reports suggested Campbell may have had local disputes or possible ties to criminal activity, but those claims were not substantiated in the material provided.

Vigils and memorials were held and the community expressed strong support for Campbell’s family. If anyone knew Charles Campbell, his movements in Harvey around August 2017, or has information that could help, please come forward.
