The Edmonton Police Service has arrested and charged a 51-year-old Edmonton man in connection with a Sept. 8, 2012 homicide that occurred in the inner-city.
Gregory Andrew Campbell has been charged with one count each of second degree murder, aggravated assault and possession of an offensive weapon for the death of Douglas Gladue, 50. The victim died after an alleged altercation, at approximately 12:55 a.m., Saturday, Sept. 8, 2012. A second victim, a female, was also stabbed, but survived.
A combination of key witness accounts, video surveillance, assistance from an inner city shelter and forensic evidence led police to Campbell, who was arrested without incident yesterday morning, Thursday, Nov. 8, 2012, at a west-end motel.
“It takes several investigators to successfully conclude a murder investigation and that was certainly emphasized in this tragedy,” said Edmonton Police Chief Rod Knecht.
“Everyone worked diligently to bring closure to the victim’s family and friends, from the patrol members on the ground who located our suspect on the same morning suspect identification was provided to them, to the investigators who worked tirelessly on this case over the last few months.”
Background:
Members from the EPS Downtown Division responded to a weapons complaint near 95 Street and 102 Avenue in the early hours of Saturday, Sept. 8, 2012. Upon arrival, members found a male and female in a nearby parking lot, suffering from stab wounds, the result of an earlier altercation.
Both stabbing victims were transported to hospital, where the 50-year-old male succumbed to his injuries. The 33-year-old female victim sustained non-life threatening injuries.
The location of the stabbings is known to police, as an area frequented by inner-city residents, who gather and often become intoxicated, thus precipitating violence.
