MIAMI (WSVN) - The FBI is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest of a South Florida murder suspect.
Joshua Ismael Campos, 22, is accused of fatally shooting a man at an apartment complex on Southwest 270 Street in Miami on July 25, 2021.
Allegedly armed with a firearm, Campos fired at least 18 rounds at Demetrius Harris while Harris’ girlfriend and 5-year-old son were nearby. Police said it was the result of a fight over a parking spot.
Campos was charged with second-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, and firearm possession by a convicted felon or delinquent on July 26, 2021, by the 11th Judicial Circuit in Miami-Dade County and a state warrant for his arrest was issued.
On Feb. 23, 2024, a federal arrest warrant was issued by the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, charging Campos with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
“He should be considered armed and dangerous and an escape risk,” said FBI’s Mark McCormick.
Authorities said that he should be considered armed and dangerous, and an escape risk.
It’s believed that Campos may be accompanied by Maxine McCord, who is not wanted by law enforcement.
“Additional information has been obtained that he has left the State of Florida,” said Miami-Dade Police Detective Oscar Adino.
At the Wednesday news conference, the victim’s family was present.
“You killed my grandson for nothing. You understand what I’m saying? He wasn’t a bad kid, he wasn’t, what did you do? Why? Why?” said the victim’s grandmother.
The family has a message for the accused killer.
“You need to turn yourself in. It’s been a long time, it’s going on for three years, and I need justice for my son,” said Demetrius Harris Sr, the victim’s father.
They are also asking the public for help in finding the subject that took the young kid’s life.
“I really need justice in this case, thank you,” said Harris Sr.
“And I pray every night before I go to bed that justice is served,” said the grandmother.
Campos reportedly has known ties to Miami, Fort Pierce, and Tampa in Florida. Investigators said the latest information they have points to Georgia, Alabama, and Texas.
Campos is described as standing at 6 feet, weighing 150 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.
