BREAKING: A man accused of the fatal shooting of a Jacksonville mother has been arrested in Texas following a crucial anonymous tip. Randy Campbell, 31, was taken into custody in Dallas, Texas, after being identified as the primary suspect in the November 15 shooting death of Cherrish Nunley, 24, outside a fitness center in Jacksonville.
Authorities confirmed that Nunley was found dead in a parking lot on Sunbeam Road, just weeks before her 25th birthday. Her tragic death has left a profound impact on her family, including her two young children, a 5-year-old daughter and a 1-year-old son.
Jacksonville police announced Campbell’s arrest on Thursday, stating that investigators quickly identified him as the suspect. The breakthrough came thanks to an anonymous tip submitted through First Coast Crime Stoppers, which Executive Director Chase Robinson credited with providing “profound power” to the community.
“Today, we are reminded of the courage it takes for someone to speak up,” Robinson stated. “Their anonymity allowed them to share vital information that has helped bring clarity to a case that has weighed heavily on our community.”
Police have indicated that the U.S. Marshals Task Force played a significant role in tracking Campbell to Texas, where he was apprehended earlier this week. The collaboration between local authorities, the State Attorney’s Office, and federal marshals underscores the urgency and seriousness of the case.
Campbell is now facing homicide charges, and police have confirmed that he is not a suspect in any other recent homicides in the area. Investigators continue to work diligently to ensure justice is served for Nunley and her grieving family.
As this story develops, authorities are focused on bringing more clarity to the case while expressing their condolences to Nunley’s family and friends. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office emphasized their commitment to solving this case and ensuring that justice prevails.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to follow this urgent story.
