Family presses for answers almost 2 months after father was killed near Barton Springs
The family of Camnik Campbell, who was shot to death near Barton Springs in August, are still looking for answers.
AUSTIN, Texas - Inside a San Antonio apartment, Sarai Ramos-Campbell cares for her newborn alone.
"I'm 22 and I'm a widow. I don't know how to deal with it, but I got a baby to take care of now. So, this is my main focus," she explained.
Ramos-Cambell’s son, Jeilani Campbell, was born last week. She told FOX 7 Austin he is not sleeping well.
"Like when you talk about [his father] he'll cry, so I feel like he knows," she said.
Jeilani never got to meet his father, Camnik Campbell. The 27-year-old athlete, musician and DoorDash driver was shot to death in the parking lot of Austin’s Barton Springs Pool on August 25.
His body was discovered around 5 a.m. outside his vehicle. The car was riddled with bullets.
