Cops: Man followed from ATM, then shot by robber

Hicksbert Dwight Grant died for nothing.

Coral Springs police say a man they call a “coldhearted predator” spotted Grant at a bank ATM and followed him home. Then he ambushed Grant and shot him in the chest.

But Grant, 48, didn’t have any money from the ATM: He had gone to make a deposit, not a withdrawal.

So Tevaughn Jerome Campbell, 27, of Coconut

Creek, to Grant said. Grant steal didn’t on victim,” Springs Myers. was when Oct. have “truly said 29, Sgt. he “He anything police an killed Coral Scott was innocent randomly by a vicious targeted predator.”

Grant TD Police Bank went on to said University the drove to Drive, another then errand a block away, then headed home for another two miles. Campbell stalked him on his route and then attacked him as he got out

of his car in his driveway in the 3800 block of Northwest 72 Drive, Myers said.

Home surveillance cameras show the ambush, and video from neighbors and businesses show the path the men took.

Because of the video, cops say they knew who they were looking for, and DNA taken from the skullcap Campbell had left behind corroborated it.

Grant had been taken to Broward Health North medical center, where he was pronounced dead.

Campbell was arrested 10 p.m. Thursday as he left an apartment in Coconut Creek.

Coral Springs police said he ran from them and tossed the gun — a .40-caliber Smith & Wesson M&P Shield — in a lake.

He was caught by a police dog, and the gun —

thought to have been used in the murder — was fished out by the dive team.

At his first court appearance Friday afternoon, Campbell’s public defender argued the evidence tying Campbell to the crime was insufficient.

He said Campbell’s car may have been seen in surveillance video near the crime scene but there was no proof he was driving it.

Broward Judge Michael Davis ruled that Campbell should remain jailed without bond on the charge of first-degree murder.

Police said they are investigating to figure out if Campbell is responsible for any other crimes.

“We have reason to believe there are others,” Myers said.

Efforts to reach Grant’s family were unsuccessful.
