On the night of May 26, 2023, 19-year-old Ayanna Jyleah Thompson was fatally shot in the parking lot of B & B Bowling Lanes on Fort Bragg Road in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The shooting happened around 11:45 p.m. while Thompson and friends were on a double date; they had traveled from Fairmont with 27-year-old Levon Campbell. Reports say an argument between Thompson and Campbell ended with Campbell allegedly shooting Thompson while she sat in the front passenger seat of his vehicle. After the shooting Campbell reportedly pointed the firearm at other passengers and then fled, leaving friends to try to render aid.

The Fayetteville Police Department identified Campbell as the primary suspect and, on June 22, 2023, he was arrested in Riegelwood by local and state units working together. He was charged with first-degree murder, discharging a weapon into an occupied dwelling, possession of a firearm by a felon, and discharging a weapon into occupied property; at his initial court appearance Campbell described the shooting as an accident. Does anyone have information about the events that night or knew Ayanna and can help investigators?
