According to FBI spokesman Jim Marshall, the FBI has been assisting in the search for Joshua Ismael Campos as he was wanted by the agency for “unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.”
Authorities said Campos shot Demetrius Harris, 26, shortly before 5:30 p.m. on July 25, 2021, in the 13800 block of Southwest 270th Street during a heated dispute between neighbors.
According to Miami-Dade police, officers responded to the area after receiving a ShotSpotter alert.
When they arrived, they found Harris suffering from gunshot wounds.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue personnel transported Harris to a local hospital, where he later died.
Police said detectives determined that the victim had been arguing with a woman, identified as Maxine McCord, and her family members, in the courtyard of the apartment complex.
Police said McCord’s boyfriend, Campos, then 19, came out of his apartment and shot Harris.
He then fled the scene with McCord, leaving their 1-year-old child with relatives, authorities said.
Police said McCord had also not been found since leaving that day, and detectives believed she was traveling with Campos. Authorities did not immediately confirm Friday whether she was located as well.
Harris is survived by two daughters, London and Madison.
According to the FBI, Campos faces multiple charges, including second-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
