Kenneth Scott Cobb, 59, was shot and killed while working as a cab driver near the Amtrak station on Grace Street in Harrisburg late on March 27, 2022. Known to many as Bird, he was sitting in his taxi when a man walked up to the driver’s side and fired several shots; police described the killing as a targeted attack and listed it as the city’s eighth homicide that year.

Police identified a suspect, Hezekiah Campbell, after surveillance footage showed a man matching his description approaching the taxi, shooting, and fleeing toward the Mulberry Street Bridge. A subsequent search of a Derry Street residence turned up clothing similar to that in the video, a Smith & Wesson 9mm, ammunition with a rare LVE headstamp and rose/copper color, and a notebook in which Campbell wrote his name and a March 29 entry stating I shot him and referencing killing again. The same distinctive casings were linked to the December 28, 2021, killing of 71-year-old Kathryn Person under the Mulberry Street bridge, and Campbell was charged in both deaths and with carrying a firearm without a license; court records show he has been incarcerated since 2022.

There are additional court developments recorded through early 2025, including a first-degree murder charge for an alleged killing of a fellow inmate, but the status of the homicide cases remains pending. If anyone knew Kenneth or has information about that March 27 scene, please share what can help the investigation.
