Randall ’Randy’ Bailey was killed on his 75th birthday, November 28, 2019, at his home in Starke County, Indiana. He had been preparing to leave for a Thanksgiving dinner with family when he was shot and killed in the presence of several family members, including children under 18. Bailey was described as a husband, father, grandfather and someone who enjoyed gardening, fishing and cooking.

The person charged in the killing was James Lee Campbell. Prosecutors said Campbell shot Bailey while Bailey was incapacitated. Campbell was arrested, tried and convicted of felony murder, resisting law enforcement, and a firearm sentencing enhancement. A 72-year sentence in the Indiana Department of Corrections was imposed with no portion suspended. Victim impact at sentencing emphasized the deep and lasting harm to Bailey’s family; the court cited aggravating factors including the presence of children during the crime and a threat to a witness.
