The 61-year-old, who was sentenced to 25 years last week for shooting his wife, was supposed to be transferred to a prison. Instead, he was somehow released from custody.
The man was supposed to be transferred to a prison, but on Tuesday, he was somehow released from custody and was missing."Due to an apparent clerical error, Campos was inadvertently released on Tuesday, February 28, 2023."
Overnight, the man was found and is now back in custody, according to Sheriff Ed Gonzalez. Officials did not release any further information about where he was found or what he did while he was free.-- a local organization supporting survivors of domestic violence. She says this mistake must've been terrifying for the wife who was shot.
"I'm sure she is definitely not getting any sleep tonight because she doesn't know where he is. And that is a tremendous fear for survivors -- the unknown," Olivia Rivers said. "I feel like when it comes to victims of domestic and sexual violence, the justice system only has two responsibilities: offender accountability and victim safety. And both of those things have fallen through the cracks with this case.
HCSO is conducting an internal investigation to figure out if any policies or procedures were violated. The Harris County Jail was already under fire over issues including overcrowding, understaffing, and general health and wellness among inmates.
