On Tuesday afternoon, March 4, 2025, 16-year-old Kamau Campbell, a Black/African American student at Lansdowne High School, was shot and killed near a shopping center in the 3900 block of Hollins Ferry Road, across from his school. The attack began about 2:30 p.m. when an assailant emerged from a silver Honda Accord and opened fire while Kamau stood near a liquor store. He ran toward the school and collapsed on school property just outside the main entrance after the shooter chased him and fired additional rounds. Kamau was rushed to a hospital and later died of his injuries; the school went into lockdown and investigators later confirmed he had been absent from class that day.

Family and friends remembered Kamau, known as Daddy, as a charismatic, energetic young man and a proud member of his high school football team who was close to his siblings. Surveillance footage and follow-up investigation led Baltimore County Police to identify an 18-year-old named Challah Haywood and a silver Honda Accord as linked to the shooting; police found the vehicle in a nearby apartment complex about an hour and a half after the attack.

Did anyone see Kamau that afternoon or have information about the vehicle or movements around Hollins Ferry Road that could help the investigation?
