APPLETON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — An argument about someone skipping in line for a food truck led to a fight and fatal shooting in Appleton on Christmas Eve, according to a criminal complaint filed Tuesday.
Elliot Campbell, 21, is scheduled to make an initial court appearance Tuesday afternoon in Outagamie County court on one count of first-degree intentional homicide for the death of Elijah Dodson, 22.
According to one witness, the confrontation started in the line for a food truck just off College Avenue. One person walked up behind a group of people “so it looked like he cut in line.” From there, it escalated into a fight, ending with the shots fired.
One of the two men who joined the line gave police a similar explanation about what started the confrontation, although he did not see who fired the shots.
Traffic camera video captured some video of the incident — including showing what they believe be Campbell with a gun, and the fight, but not the shooting itself.
The complaint does not include any comments from Campbell. He was arrested in Racine on Saturday.
Dodson died of two gunshot wounds to the head, according to the autopsy cited in the complaint.
