Jamar Campbell was beginning a new chapter in his life during October 2020. The young man lived in Chester, Pennsylvania and had recently turned 21 years old. Jamar also was a new father; his daughter was born during mid-October. According to family members, Jamar was dedicated to his new role in fatherhood.
Unfortunately, just two weeks after his daughter was born, Jamar was found murdered in Chester. Reports state that police were called to McIlvain Street around 12:30 AM on October 28th, 2020. Once they arrived, they found a Toyota Camry that was still running. Inside the car was a young man who had been shot multiple times. That man - later identified as Jamar - was pronounced dead on the scene.
Jamar’s murder has been both devastating and baffling to his loved ones. In addition to caring for his newborn daughter, Jamar also spent a lot of time helping his other family members as well. He reportedly always took the trash out for his grandmother and assisted his family with other day-to-day needs such as mowing the lawn or shoveling snow if the need arose. It’s unclear why anyone would want to harm Jamar. No suspects or persons of interest have ever been announced in his case.
Years have passed, and Jamar’s murder still remains unsolved. His daughter never got the chance to get to know her father. Jamar’s entire family has been left without answers or justice.
The Chester Police Department is the investigating agency for Jamar’s murder. If you have any information that could help the investigation, please contact authorities at (610) 447-8402.
