Jeffrey Douglas Campbell, a 54-year-old white male from Phoenix, Arizona, was found fatally wounded in the early morning hours of Tuesday, June 12, 2012, at Mountain View Park, located at 9901 North 7th Avenue in north Phoenix. According to information released by Silent Witness, Campbell was discovered around 5:00 a.m. in the park, where he was known in the neighborhood and was said to frequently spend time. The investigation determined that he had been stabbed to death, and his case was classified as a homicide.
Investigators narrowed the likely time frame of the attack to between 3:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. Witnesses in the area reported hearing some kind of argument or confrontation at about 3:00 a.m., followed by the sight of two males running away from the vicinity of the park. These individuals were seen fleeing shortly after the disturbance but were not publicly identified, and authorities have not released any detailed descriptions beyond the fact that two men were observed leaving the area around the time of the crime.
Despite the presence of witnesses who heard the disturbance and saw the two individuals running, police have not announced any arrests in connection with Campbell’s killing. Silent Witness and subsequent media coverage describe the suspects only as “unknown,” and the case continues to be treated as an unsolved homicide. A reward of up to $1,000 has been offered for information leading to an arrest or indictment, with investigators urging anyone who might know more about the confrontation in Mountain View Park that morning to contact Silent Witness or the Phoenix Police Department. As of the most recent public updates, no suspects have been named and no one has been taken into custody for the stabbing death of Jeffrey Douglas Campbell.
