Tonya Campbell, 52, was shot to death in her Ferriday, Louisiana home in the early hours of Labor Day, September 5, 2021. Officers responding to reports of shots fired shortly after 1:30 a.m. found Campbell with a single gunshot wound to the chest and a contusion to her head. She was an African American woman and a US Navy veteran.

Investigators from the Ferriday Police Department, assisted by the Concordia Parish Sheriff’s Office, determined the killing resulted from a domestic dispute. Authorities identified Campbell’s husband, 53-year-old Richard Martin, as the suspect; he was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. Later developments in the case included a plea to a lesser charge and a prison sentence.

Anyone who knew Tonya Campbell or who has information about the events that night is asked to come forward.
