Indiana State Police responded to a Saturday call from Kevin Campbell, 68, who told them there was a dead man in his yard suffering from a cardiac arrest, WKRC reported. Floyd County Prosecutor Chris Lane said the killing took place after Proctor had gone to Campbell’s home twice on October 26, first to drop off clothing. After the shooting, Campbell allegedly lay in bed for 20 minutes and is accused of waiting two hours before notifying police, prompting an obstruction of justice charge.
