Case Summary:
Not since the murder of Michael Sanchez had I seen a case with such a senseless death until the murder of Martez Taylor in 2018. The suspect, Keith Campbell, allegedly shot Taylor to death... as a result of Taylor bumping into him at a party.
The shooting happened at a party in Urbana, Illinois on July 21st, 2018.
According to foxillinois.com:
"There were a large number of people at the party. Among those present were Cory Jackson and Keith Campbell.
Police said Taylor accidentally bumped into Campbell, who then punched Taylor. The two fought inside the house and Taylor 'won' the fight, which was broke up by party-goers.
Campbell and Taylor then went separate ways.
Police said Taylor exited the house shortly after the fight and got into the back seat of a vehicle.
Campbell and Jackson followed and attempted to forcibly remove Taylor from the vehicle. Police said it was then that Campbell and Jackson pulled a firearm and shot Taylor multiple times through the closed vehicle door.
Campbell and Jackson then fled the scene."
...
Warrants would later be issued for Campbell and Jackson. Jackson turned himself in last August. Campbell, as far as I can tell, is still at large or is at least listed on Champaign County Crime Stoppers as still at large as of this posting date (7/5/2019).

Thoughts? I have to admit I'm only like 80 percent sure Campbell is still at large as opposed to 100 percent since the Champaign County Crime Stoppers hasn't updated his wanted status in nearly a year (it just says wanted as of 7/30/2018). I'm just reasonably assuming he is still at large since I've seen no new articles stating otherwise. Of course if anyone ever has amy past, present or future updates/proof-of-updates they are always more than welcome to let us know.
This case is so stupid. As if it isn't bad enough Campbell allegedly started a fight all because someone bumped into him, according to reports he then escalated things to murder after his fragile masculinity couldn't handle getting his butt whooped. (How many times have we seen cases where a victim was murdered because the killer had lost a fist fight to them? Shooting them with a gun just makes you a coward).
I hope if anyone know where Campbell is, they do the right thing and turn him in. If he can allegedly kill someone just for bumping into him, he can kill for any reason, and that makes him an extreme danger to the public. Not to me mention, Martez Taylor's deserves justice as well.
