Christopher Lee Campbell, 42, of Dayton was shot on May 26, 2019 and later died of his injuries at Miami Valley Hospital. Officers responded about 6:50 p.m. after reports of shots fired and found Campbell’s vehicle crashed into the playground at Dayton Boys Prep Academy; investigators determined he had been shot near North Antioch Street and West Second Street and was located inside the crashed vehicle.

Police arrested 33-year-old Carson D. Barker in connection with the shooting. Prosecutors said a long-running dispute between Campbell and Barker culminated in the attack; witnesses and community cooperation contributed to a quick arrest. Barker was charged with felonious assault and weapon offenses, and homicide charges were presented to the prosecutor’s office.

Trial testimony included Barker’s claim of self-defense, that Campbell had pulled a gun and a shootout followed, while prosecutors said Barker ambushed Campbell and lacked reasonable grounds to fear for his safety. Barker was convicted and received a prison term of 29 to 33 years to life.
