Police shoot Ann’s Grove man, omit details in official release
This image was snipped from a video showing an injured Campbell being led away from the scene by police ranks and placed into the back of a police pick up.

“I hear they put him on the floor to get to know where he got [the gun from] and he got up and run and during the scuffle to get him back on the floor, one of them shoot he in he foot but they had already taken the gun from him… why they didn’t mention the shooting?” the woman questioned.

Campbell was admitted and kept at the hospital overnight before being released on Tuesday where he was taken to the Cove and John Police Station.

The woman said Campbell was brought out of the hospital on a stretcher because he couldn’t walk and ranks wanted to place him in a car.

She instead paid for an ambulance to transport him.

“The hospital get the report and they are trying to hide that. He was not placed in police custody at Ann’s Grove… everything happened at the shop in Dutch Four and after the police just put he in the van.”

“The kick he up and box he up… you can go and ask all them people that was there,” the woman related.

By Wednesday, family members said their lawyer had to place a call to find out why Campbell was being kept in lock-ups although he remained injured.

It was on Wednesday that the ranks also reportedly rushed to have Campbell appear at the Vigilance Magistrate’s Court where he was charged and remanded.

The niece said he was returned to the Cove and John lock-ups because the Lusignan Prison refused to accept him without a medical report.

By Thursday, he was taken to the Lusignan Prison where he remains on remand.

Family members maintain that Campbell was severely beaten by ranks who wanted to find out where he got the gun from.

They are also suspicious of the police’s motive since the shooting was omitted from the official police release and other details skewed.

A video later surfaced of an injured Campbell being led away by police ranks and into the back of the pick-up at the scene.
