UPDATE: An anonymous tip has led to the urgent arrest of Randy Campbell, 31, in Dallas, Texas, for the fatal shooting of Cherrish Nunley, a 24-year-old mother of two from Jacksonville, Florida. This significant development comes just days after Nunley was found dead on November 15, 2023, in a parking lot outside a fitness center on Sunbeam Road.
Jacksonville police revealed that the tip provided crucial information, allowing investigators to quickly identify Campbell as the primary suspect. Chase Robinson, Executive Director of First Coast Crime Stoppers, emphasized the power of community involvement, stating, “Today, we are reminded of the profound power our community holds when someone chooses to speak up—safely, securely, and without ever revealing their identity.”
The tragic incident occurred just weeks before what would have been Nunley’s 25th birthday. She leaves behind a 5-year-old daughter and a 1-year-old son, adding to the heartbreak felt by family and friends. The Medical Examiner’s Office promptly ruled the case a homicide, prompting detectives to act quickly and work alongside the U.S. Marshal Task Force to secure an arrest warrant for Campbell.
Police confirmed that Campbell was apprehended earlier this week in Dallas and is currently facing charges related to Nunley’s murder. The investigation continues, but authorities have stated that Campbell is not a suspect in other recent homicides within the Jacksonville area.
“Our hearts go out to Nunley’s family and friends; we’ll work with the State Attorney’s Office to make sure justice is served,” police officials stated. As this case unfolds, community members are urged to keep the lines of communication open to assist law enforcement in apprehending those who commit violent acts.
This arrest not only brings a measure of closure to a grieving family but also highlights the vital role that anonymous tips play in solving crimes. The Jacksonville community remains hopeful that justice will prevail for Nunley and her loved ones as the legal process moves forward.
