Franklin Campbell, 40, was fatally shot at a residence on Highway 212 SW in Conyers, Georgia, on July 25, 2023. He was found with a gunshot wound to the abdomen and was taken for medical care but died from his injuries. Investigators say Campbell was described as mentally ill and had walked onto the property where the shooting occurred.

Rockdale County investigators focused on a resident of that home, 34-year-old Melvin Briggs. After questioning and reviewing area video, authorities arrested Briggs and charged him with murder, aggravated assault, reckless conduct, and theft by receiving stolen property. Officials report Briggs fired a warning shot to try to get Campbell to leave, and when Campbell did not, Briggs allegedly shot him. The firearm used was later determined to have been stolen from Henry County. Briggs is being held at the Rockdale County Jail.

Does anyone have information about Franklin Campbell, his movements that day, or video from Highway 212 SW that could help clarify what happened?
