Jesse Campbell, 64, was found shot and dead in his Lake Wylie, South Carolina, home on Pine Moss Lane on Wednesday, January 6, 2016. An employee discovered his body on the kitchen floor after Campbell missed a doctor’s appointment and failed to show up for work. His death was York County’s first homicide of 2016.

Campbell was the longtime owner of Campbell’s Greenhouses in Charlotte’s Dilworth neighborhood and had previously worked as a biology teacher. Customers and friends remembered him as a gentle, caring man with a particular talent for orchids. Authorities said the killing was not random; investigators identified Kevin DeJesus as the person responsible and described the incident as arising from a heat of passion after an alleged sexual assault and a dispute over payment for work at Campbell’s house.

The criminal case was resolved when DeJesus admitted to shooting Campbell and accepted a plea reducing the charge to voluntary manslaughter. Does anyone have further information about Campbell, his business, or the days leading up to January 6, 2016?
