Tiara Thomas, 30, was found bleeding inside her Portage, Indiana apartment on November 18, 2015, and later died at a hospital from a fatal gunshot wound. Authorities focused on Kevin Campbell, a former Gary and Hammond police officer and the father of three of Thomas’s children, as a person of interest. Investigators say Campbell took the children to school the morning of the killing; prosecutors later argued that was intended to create an alibi.

Prosecutors presented evidence that Campbell had access to the apartment—allegedly using a key—and that he had planned the attack after obtaining details about Thomas’s schedule through their children. The case against him included his own testimony denying involvement, but a jury convicted him of murder in January 2018. In April 2018 Campbell, then 33, received a 55-year prison sentence; his legal team filed an appeal contesting a jury instruction.

Does anyone have information about Tiara, her family, or the Portage area contacts from 2015 that could add context to what happened?
