Authorities on Sunday brought a Jacksonville murder suspect back home to face charges in a killing that rattled the Mandarin community. Randy Campbell, 31, is accused of fatally shooting his ex-girlfriend, 24-year-old Cherrish Nunley, in a Mandarin parking lot on Nov. 15, 2025. Officers found Nunley outside a gym, and the Medical Examiner later ruled her death a homicide. Family members say Nunley leaves behind a 5-year-old daughter and a 1-year-old son.
Extradition and booking
According to First Coast News, Campbell was extradited to Duval County and booked into the Duval County jail on Sunday. He is being held without bond, with an arraignment tentatively set for June 23, 2026. Family members told reporters that Nunley’s youngest child is Campbell’s son.
How the case unfolded
Local outlets reported that on Nov. 15 officers found Nunley unresponsive in the parking lot outside Chuze Fitness on Sunbeam Road. The Medical Examiner later determined her death was a homicide. Detectives then identified Campbell as a suspect and worked with the State Attorney’s Office to obtain an arrest warrant, as reported by News4JAX and other outlets.
Investigation and arrest
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office says an anonymous tip to First Coast Crime Stoppers helped detectives track Campbell to Dallas. The U.S. Marshals Task Force assisted local authorities in arresting him there in November. Investigators said they do not believe Campbell is connected to other recent homicides in Jacksonville, and the case remains active. According to JSO's news release, the sheriff’s office will continue working with the State Attorney’s Office as the case moves forward.
Legal next steps
As reported by First Coast News, Campbell is charged with second-degree murder with a weapon and is currently being held without bond while he awaits arraignment. Under Florida law, a second-degree murder conviction can carry a sentence of up to life in prison depending on the specific charge and sentencing factors. Florida's statutes spell out the elements of homicide offenses and the potential penalties.
