A judge set a $1.5 million cash bond Sunday night for Jeremy La'Twan Campbell Jr., 22, charged with second-degree murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon following a shooting outside Old Town Scottsdale nightclubs that left one person dead and another in critical condition.
Scottsdale police said the shooting stemmed from two physical fights outside nightclubs near Camelback and Scottsdale roads. Officers found the two victims just before 1:30 a.m. Sunday, September 7. One victim died; the other remained in critical condition, with no updated status immediately available. FOX 10 and KTAR both reported the shooting occurred near Saddlebag Trail and Camelback Road at approximately 1:15 a.m.
At his court appearance, Campbell asked the judge whether he could post property rather than cash to secure his release. The judge told him to contact a bail bondsman for an explanation of the cash-only requirement.
Authorities said Campbell fled after the shooting. Officers from the bike unit pursued him, deployed a Taser, and took him into custody. A handgun was recovered from the pool at the Best Western near the shooting scene; Scottsdale police said they were working to test the weapon to confirm whether it was used in the shooting. KTAR reported that police consider Campbell the only suspect in the shooting and are not pursuing additional suspects related to the incident.
A records search found no prior arrests for Campbell.
Who is still being sought?
While investigators believe Campbell was the only shooter, they are still looking for individuals involved in the initial fights that preceded the shooting. Anyone with video or firsthand knowledge of the fights or the shooting is asked to call the anonymous Scottsdale tip line.
Campbell is scheduled to return to court Friday for a status conference.
