An arrest in Lynchburg, Virginia, for the killing of a teenager is connected to the death of 6-year-old Kingston Campbell, with investigators believing the child's shooting may have been retaliation for the teen's death.
Roanoke Lynchburg, VA, November 6, 2026 — In Lynchburg, Virginia, an arrest made in connection with the killing of a teenager has also drawn a link to the death of 6-year-old Kingston Campbell.
