Suspect Arrested in 1995 Killing of DC Police Officer

Authorities on Tuesday arrested Amir Jalil Ali, charging him with first-degree murder in Campbell's 1995 killing, according to MCPD.
Amid early investigative missteps, detectives from Montgomery County Police Department noted Wonsom blamed the 1995 killing on a burglary, but no evidence supported this claim.
Evidence shows MCPD investigators found no sign of burglary, and DNA evidence indicates Ali was bleeding after an altercation with Campbell.
Following the arrest, leaders from MCPD and MPD will hold a press conference on Wednesday at 12:15 p.m. in Gaithersburg, and Ali remains jailed pending a bond hearing.
Reflecting on her service, MPD Executive Assistant Chief Andre Wright said Campbell had already proved herself `a hero in the community she served` and Police Chief Marc Yamada hopes the arrest brings `some resolution and sense of peace to everyone involved`.
