The family is looking for answers in the death of Joseph Campbell

Family and friends of Joseph Robert Campbell gathered Sunday to mark six months since the 24-year-old's tragic death.

Joseph died at the hospital last October after being seriously injured overnight in East Elmwood.

His family says they still don't understand what happened and they're looking for answers.

“It was very difficult. We are used to seeing him every day or hearing him every day,” said Irene Bussidor, Joseph's sister.

Police found Joseph lying on the sidewalk in the 300 block of Keenleyside Street just after 11 p.m. on Oct. 14. He was taken to hospital and later died.

A red pickup truck was found on its side about a block away, but at the time Winnipeg police did not say whether the two incidents were related.

“It makes me very sad and angry,” Bussidor said. – These six months passed and there was no justice, no arrests were made.

Police said they were looking for three men who were seen in the East Elmwood area when Joseph was wounded. They are considered persons of interest.

“We don't know what happened. Was he shot? Was he stabbed? What happened? What happened?” said Rosemary Campbell, Joseph's mother.

Joseph's family says the lack of answers makes closure difficult.

“I'm not the same anymore. I hate to tell people I don't believe it, but it's gone. It's gone,” said Richard Campbell, Joseph's father.

Now, as the day gets warmer, the family is worried that their loved ones will get colder.

Anyone with information about what happened to Joseph is asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
