James Campbell was 52 and from Cincinnati, Ohio. He died on March 1, 2014; investigators later tied his death to a contract killing that involved multiple people. Carl Godfrey was identified as the person hired to carry out the murder, and he allegedly enlisted Jason Gray, Mario Gordon, and a 14-year-old identified as M.T.

The suspects faced a range of charges including aggravated murder, murder, felonious assault, and aggravated robbery. The case drew attention because a minor was implicated and because of the wider violence connected to the plot, which also involved the later killing of a friend of Campbell’s.

What details about Campbell’s life or about the circle around him might help explain why he was targeted, and can anyone with information about these individuals or the events come forward?
