Officers were called to the Park City West neighborhood off State Road 84 around 6:30 p.m. Wednesday after reports that Campbell had shot into an unoccupied car.
According to his complaint affidavit, Campbell and his grandfather got into a fight because the 26-year-old hadn’t paid his rent and was not taking medication for Bipolar/ Schizophrenic disorder.
The fight escalated when Campbell pulled out a gun and shot five rounds “recklessly” into a car’s tires, according to the affidavit.

“We weren’t sure if it was firecrackers, fireworks, or bullets,” said Harold Bardino, who said he lives four houses down from Campbell and his grandfather.

Two firearms were recovered at the scene, according to a release from Davie Police. The officers involved were not injured but have been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
