Huizar was hanging out with Campos, a family member and another man on Jan. 1 in the 100 block of Paso Chico Alley. The family member left for a few minutes and returned to find Huizar on the ground with a gunshot wound, the warrant says.
The family member told police they saw Campos running from the scene.
According to the warrant, the family member told officers that Campos had engaged in a “verbal disturbance” with Huizar before the shooting and heard him say, “I’m a goon, bro; I get active all day.”
A nearby witness told officers they heard Campos tell Huizar, “This is my block, and you aren’t supposed to be here.” They also said Campos concealed a firearm in his pants as he fled, the warrant says.
Campos' bond is set at $200,000. His pre-indictment hearing is set for April 7, court records show.
