Eric Campbell extradited from West Virginia to Granville County to face murder charges
OXFORD, NC (WTVD) -- A second suspect in a multi-state crime spree has been transferred from West Virginia to North Carolina to face murder charges.
Twenty-one-year-old Eric Alexander Campbell of Alvin, Texas, waived extradition last week in Greenbrier County Circuit Court.
Campbell is charged in Granville County with first-degree murder, burglary and other charges. Campbell and his father, 54-year-old Edward Watson Campbell of Alvin, Texas, are accused of killing a couple Jan. 1 near Oxford, North Carolina, setting fire to their house and stealing their vehicle.
The elder Campbell waived extradition last month.
The Campbells also were charged in West Virginia stemming from a shootout with Lewisburg police. Greenbrier County prosecutor Patrick Via says these charges won't be pursued for now.
