Woman shot to death after dispute, car chase

A North Las Vegas woman shot to death in front of a group of schoolchildren waiting at a bus stop has been identified as 27-year-old Deborah Campbell.

Her husband, Darion Lamar Campbell, 27, and brother-in-law, Uricos Lavelle Campbell, 23, were arrested on murder and attempted murder with a deadly weapon charges after the 8:18 a.m. Thursday incident that followed a car chase.

They were booked into the North Las Vegas Detention Center, where they are being held without bail.

North Las Vegas Police were still interviewing witnesses today.

Among the witnesses was a group of schoolchildren waiting at a nearby bus stop when the shooting occurred, investigations Sgt. Mike Judd said.

A dispute between the brothers and the dead woman began earlier and led to a car chase, Judd said. Police have not determined where the argument began.

"We have a lot of witnesses to interview," Judd said. "We're still trying to pinpoint the exact location they started from."

Darion Campbell and Uricos Campbell, driving a 1979 burgundy Oldsmobile Cutlass, chased the woman and a passenger, 29-year-old Robert Quabner of Las Vegas, as she drove her silver sedan north on Martin Luther King Boulevard.

When the woman's car crashed into a block wall in the 3800 block of Martin Luther King at Watercreek Drive near Gowan Road, the two men jumped out of their car and approached the woman and Quabner, police said.

The men began arguing and fighting with the woman and Quabner, police said. The woman was shot with a handgun and died at the scene, police said.

It wasn't clear which man fired the gun, police said.

The brothers, still at the scene when police arrived, were arrested without incident, police said.

Quabner suffered minor injuries during the auto accident. He was treated at a local hospital, police said.

North Las Vegas has had four homicides so far this year, one of whom was killed by a police officer during a standoff.
