Matthew Campbell, 32, was shot dead in an apartment invasion in Hattiesburg, Mississippi on May 11, 2014. Two men forced their way into the unit where Campbell and his friend Patrick Snow were present; Snow survived a gunshot wound to his upper body and identified the intruders from his hospital bed as two men who had attempted a robbery.

Three people were indicted in the attack: James Clark, Timothy Jordan, and Jarvis Holder. Jordan and Holder later pleaded guilty to lesser charges and agreed to testify for the prosecution. At Clark’s trial Snow identified Holder and Clark as the intruders and said Clark shot both men; Holder testified Clark fired the fatal shot to Campbell and that Holder had fired a shotgun when they entered. The defense challenged the witnesses’ credibility and noted no physical evidence tied Clark to the scene.

A jury convicted Clark of second-degree murder for Campbell’s death and aggravated assault for Snow’s injuries. An appeal asserting ineffective assistance of counsel and that the verdicts were against the weight of the evidence was filed; the appellate court affirmed the trial court’s decision. Does anyone have information about the case or knew Matthew Campbell?
