Larry Campbell, 27, of Trinity, North Carolina, was shot and killed in the parking lot of BBQ Joe’s on December 22, 2017. He had visited his mother at her workplace about an hour before the shooting; his mother, Glenna Coe, said his last words to her were ’OK mom, I love you.’

Russ was later stopped by a state trooper on Interstate 85 and taken into custody at the Randolph County Jail without bond. Investigators have not confirmed a motive, though they have not ruled out that the jacket Campbell was wearing could have been a factor.

Campbell was a husband and father of three; family and community members described him as lively, funny, and devoted to his family. The investigation into why he was killed is ongoing. If anyone witnessed the shooting at BBQ Joe’s or saw the vehicle involved, please come forward with information.
