Former state senator grieves after shooter kills son in Miami-Dade

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – Former Democratic Florida Sen. Daphne Campbell used Facebook to grieve on Wednesday after her son Jason Dwayne Campbell died. He was 23.

“Carry a child for nine months with difficulties and end up having C-Section and after 23 years, you receive bad news (that) someone (shot), kills your son.”

Detectives are investigating the shooting that occurred at 8:28 a.m. Tuesday at the Montecarlo of Miami Condominiums, at 494 NW 165 St., in Miami-Dade County’s Golden Glades area.

According to a medical examiner’s report, Jason Campbell had been shot in the torso.

Campbell also wrote on Facebook that her son was killed while he was sleeping. The killer, she wrote, was heartless. Her son was a father of three.

Miami-Dade detectives are asking anyone with information about the shooting to call Detective R. Mascarena at 305-471-2400 or Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.
