Galt man found dead in Acampo
By Rachael Ackerman-Herald Editor
San Joaquin County Sheriff investigators are trying to unravel the sequence of events that led to the deadly shooting of a Galt man in Acampo on Saturday night.
The sheriff’s office received a call of shots fired in the 5800 block of East Jahant Road at around 11:30 p.m. on Saturday, followed by another call at approximately 11:45 p.m., advising deputies that the body of a Hispanic man had been found laying in the road.
When deputies arrived, they discovered the body of Adam Mariano Campa (Partida), 28, of Galt in the roadway at the same location. The victim had several gunshot wounds.
Medics arrived on scene minutes later and pronounced Campa dead at the scene.
Sheriff Deputy Les Garica said there is little information available about the chain of events that led to Campa’s death. Due to the ongoing investigation, little detail on what was discovered at the scene will be released, but they are interested in finding one man, also from Galt, in connection with Campa’s death.
What police do know is that the man suspected of shooting and killing Campa, Anthony Adell Hubbard, 22, a friend of Campa according to his family, started the night on the run from the law for an attempted robbery.
Galt police report having initiated a search for Hubbard early in the evening of Oct. 31 after witnesses identified him as the man who had attempted to rob a group of men gathered at a home in the 300 block of Sixth Street in Galt.
Galt Police Lieutenant Ken Erickson said Hubbard was reported by witnesses as having arrived at the residence where he was acquainted with some of the men hanging out in the front yard.
Witnesses told police Hubbard became very agitated at one point, demanding money from those gathered. Erickson said that, while no one reports seeing Hubbard with a weapon, his behavior led them to believe he may indeed have a weapon and that, at that point, they fled the scene in fear.
Witnesses who remained said the unidentified driver of the vehicle in which Hubbard arrived coaxed an agitated Hubbard back into the vehicle and left.
At that point, Erickson said Galt police issued a “be on the lookout for” notice on Hubbard to all surrounding law enforcement agencies.
Putting the pieces together of how Hubbard got from Galt to Jahant Road in Acampo is a critical and ongoing part of the investigation.
The Sacramento County Sheriff’s department joined in the search for Hubbard early Sunday morning after a deputy was fired upon while making a noise disturbance call.
A sheriff deputy arrived at a home at Ganzer and Kost roads just outside of Galt in response to a loud party call, only to find himself under fire.
Sacramento County Sheriff Spokesman, Sergeant Tim Curran, said on Monday that when the deputy arrived at the scene he called for back up and waited in his vehicle for back up to arrive. As he was waiting, said Curran, shots were fired with the deputy reporting that he felt the shots were being fired at him. No one was injured.
Back up arrived at the scene and a perimeter was established, as well as a helicopter search to no avail. Police filed the report as an assault on a police officer.
Curran would not say why sheriffs believe Hubbard is a suspect in that incident, but said deputies know Hubbard was at the party and that “He is just someone we want to talk to.”
Sheriff’s suffered a false alarm in the search for Hubbard on Monday afternoon when an anonymous caller reported that they believed Hubbard was in Herald Community Park. Deputies surrounded the area and conducted a search, also to no avail. Curran said that call was unfounded.
The San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Department issued the notice for Hubbard on Nov. 1.
Police warn that Hubbard is considered armed and dangerous, and advise that no attempts to approach Hubbard be made. If you know of Hubbard’s location, you are asked to call the nearest law enforcement agency.
Hubbard has had previous contact with law enforcement in both San Joaquin and Sacramento counties. Court records show Hubbard pled guilty in San Joaquin County in 2006 to making criminal threats, domestic violence and vehicle theft, and last year pled guilty to possession of stolen property.
Sacramento County court records show Hubbard pled no contest to assault with a deadly weapon charges in November 2008 after having pled no contest to drug possession and evasion charges in May of the same year.
Campa’s family is honest when they share that Adam had been in trouble with the law in the past as well, having served prison time in 2007 for a drug conviction.
Campa’s father, Raul Partida of Stockton, and his mother, Dalia Farfan of Galt, spoke to The Galt Herald early in the week to say that their son, although no angel, had been diligently making an effort to change his life for the sake of his only child, a daughter, and had been in no legal trouble since 2007.
“Adam was a very playful, happy kid growing up. He loved his grandma and grandpa, and he respected his family,” said Partida. “When my wife and I separated about 12 years ago, though, he just started hanging out with the wrong people and getting involved in drugs.”
Partida and Farfan agreed that Adam was a troubled child and shared that their son has been in prison on several occasions but, after the last time he was released, the whole family saw a change in him, a change they credit to Campa’s daughter.
“He stayed away from all of his old friends that he got into trouble with, and drew closer to his daughter,” said Farfan. “It was like he was enjoying the first of everything with his daughter. This would have been the first Thanksgiving and Christmas, and they were just looking forward to everything.”
To Campa’s mother, the past is the past and should remain the past.
“Adam told me once he was glad I had given him my last name because he said he had ruined the Partida name,” said Farfan. “He was working to restore the honor of his name. He was trying to find a job, keeping his appointments, and spending time with his daughter almost every day. He said to us he was trying to clear his bad reputation and that he knew that was going to take some time, but that he was committed to doing it for his daughter and his family.”
The family said the only thing they know about the night Campa was killed is that he left for a Halloween party with Hubbard. They have been told that Hubbard began to get out of control at the party they were attending and that, since Campa had brought Hubbard to the party, he was the one to get him to leave and to go with Hubbard.
What happened between the time the pair left the party and Campa’s death is a mystery. Still waiting for details from police, the family can only wonder what happened that day to lead to the death of a beloved family member.
Partida and Farfan said the news of Adam’s death hit the family hard and that initially they were very angry, but once they calmed down, only sadness and a desire to see justice done remain.
“I was very, very hurt and angry. This was a friend of Adam’s so there was a betrayal there,” said Partida. “I just wanted to get a hold of somebody and do something, but then I came to my senses. All we want now is for him to be caught and tried.”
Farfan agrees.
“I want justice for my son,” said Farfan, who said she feels for the parents and family of Hubbard. “I don’t hate the person who did this to my son. I just want justice. It just isn’t right. No one has the right to take anyone’s life.”
In the meantime, the family wants the community to know that, even after making mistakes, their son was working to change, a change that was to include mentoring other juveniles headed down the wrong path.
“He would say, ‘Mom, I know I did bad,’” said Farfan. “He wanted a chance to tell others that this is no life. It was one of his goals to talk to the ‘young punks,’ as he called them, to keep them from making the same mistakes as he did.”
No matter the time spent away or the trouble that had come in the past, the Partida family is proud of the man they saw Campa becoming and said they will forever wonder what he could have been.
“He was very artistic, loved to draw, loved art, and could make you laugh, was socializing and here at home doing family things,” said Farfan. “He came home loving the oldies, stuff I would approve of, instead of the gang-banger stuff, and was a part of the family instead of always isolating himself. He was waiting for probation restrictions on where he could go to be lifted so he could search further for work and a new life. He was in prison for 18 months, but he came home with a whole new attitude – a positive attitude, even attending private Bible studies at the Kingdom Hall. We had just gotten him back.”
To lose a son so close to making what they felt was a permanent life change is heartbreaking, said the family.
“I never gave up on my son,” said Partida. “I never would have.”

We will never know the great things Adam would have done, but I am proud of him overcoming the life he once lived. He will always be loved, cherished, and remembered. And thank you, to all those who have shown overwhelming support for my family. Always remembered-never forgotten... "

" i think before people start making assumptions about hubbard being guilty . they should wait for all the facts then make there opinions known. you people talk about adam like he never did anything wrong ! what about the pain hes inflicted on his victims . don't get me wrong he did not need to die ! no one deserves to die like that its very sad especially if he really was trying to go strait .not only did he lose his life! but hubbard lost his too. all that said, the real losers are the famialy's of these two men. may god be with them in this time of sadness . just remember innocent until proven guilty. dont believe everything u read in the paper it is usually one sided. facts are facts and we have heard none of them!!!

" I knew Adam along time ago, we went to school together and a few times after hung out. I myself had taken the "wrong path" for a few years but thankfully found my way back several years ago. as for the comments about Adam hanging out with the wrong ppl when he is trying to straighten up, that doesnt mean he wasnt trying! its not that easy it takes time, It took me awhile too. And who are you to judge him and his life? He was a wonderful loving fun guy who was taken from us way too early! We ALL make mistakes, none of us are perfect. To Adams family- I am soo sorry for your loss and I could not even imagine the pain you must be feeling. I have a teenage son and couldnt imagine lossing him. please keep us updated on arrangements. as far as Anthony goes- even if it was an "accident" he chose to have a gun in his possesion how is THAT an accident??!!

" His last name is of no importance. he killed a father first and formost, a son, a brother, a cousin, a human being. He chose to walk on the side of carlessness on Halloween night and decided to take a life. It was an accidnt how? he had a gun, he used it and like a coward he ran. I know Anthony, I know his family, and I feel for his family they will have to live with what their son/brother did. that in no way means they are bad people, they are suffering just as much as Adams family but one thing Annonymous, they will be able to see him, talk with him, accept phone calls. the Parida's will not. Adam was a lost sole finding his way back, Anothny made the decision he did now he has to pay for it. so if you want to be angry be angrey that he did this to himself. NO ONE ELSE DID "

" i know the twitty family ,and no i don't believe it was a accident . i would believe he acted in self defense ! ya he shoot him several times who's to no why? people do strange things out of fear for there life. word was around town that adam was going to try to rob anthony for money. maybe he saw his chance and it backfired? but really people we can assume all day long. but until we hear all the facts we don't know jack . but they say you reep what you sew. alot of people know that adam had shoot a kid in galt awhile back and was never charged because the victim was scared, or just was to chicken to be a cop caller? ur not a rat if your doing the right thing . it just might have saved adams life if his vic. would of stood up for his self . so if you live by the sword you'll die by the never sword. adam a innocent victim i think not !!!! anthony is no saint ether but he is innocent until proven guilty . no mans life should be judged by one mistake . my heart go's out to both family's may got comfort you in this time of sorrow and pain. with love and respect old thornton boy.

The only reason a cop would shoot you is if you do not surrender when they tell you to, but that was not his case he called and said that he was goung to give himself up to the police for what he did. I believe that he has been planning what he is going to say why he shot adam to get out of it... IT was not an accident he had a GUN...why would he carry a gun he did not have any good intentions...but great his in jail now.. im sorry for Hubbards family because they will see their child behind bars....

" My family is still dealing with the death of two family members who lives were sniped out but guys who did not care about life. I know what the Partida family is going through still today after years later it still hurts. you will never get over the loss of a loved one who was taken from you too soon. as Adam they also had a purpose to die such a young age. I don't care weather Hubbard was angry, scared, he chose to get a gun and take someone's life. I have alot to thank Adam for and he has been told and was told again a few days before his untimely death and I will say it now " Thank you Adam. You will never know how much we will miss you" and as far as the Hubbard/ Twitty family I would like to tell everyone NOT to JUDGE the family for his mistake. I don't and I know this is just as devastatitng to them as the Partida family. our thougts and prayers are for both familiies and with god strength you can carry one with time. "

" WOW. this was all very shocking to read. I guess I knew what people would be saying, but still. Melissa, I can tell your hurting so much. I'm so sorry. But I'm sure Adam loved you and is watching over you smiling (especially cause you got his back :) For those of you who are so quick to judge either side, I'd like you to think about your own family. Think about your kids, your cousins, nephews, fathers, grandfathers (etc). Nobody is perfect, everyone makes mistakes. Everyone! And guess what...some people do change! But, it is a huge process. Imagine that your son had done things wrong in the past. You knew he was changing and so did a lot of other people, but during that process...his life was taken. Obviously, Adam did still have contacts with some people that he shouldn't have, but I can tell you (as his family) we saw him changing. We saw the dramatic change he had made to be with his daughter & his family more. Nobody knows what he would have made of his life. We won't get to know that because he is gone. He will never be back. So for all of you who are so quick to pass judgement, take a good look at yourselves and your family. The sad thing is that most of you won't get it until you loose someone you love & people judge them based on some 'past' convictions. It will hurt you, it will hurt your family. He is gone people. Grow up...I think its really pathetic and childish that some of you have so much to say, and you know SO much about Adam & the situation...and yet its funny that you list your name as annonymous..or something else. If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all. Let him rest in peace. Nobody on here will get to decide Anthonys fate, only a God. And the same goes for Adam. He has now met his maker. We all love him so so much and will never forget him. So just stop already people. Stop acting like you know it all. You don't, none of us do.

" There is so much to this story that most of you don't know! things that will eventually come out during trial. At that time you will all be able to see the truth! As for Adam let him rest in peace, let his family have as much piece as they possiblty can during this time. For everyone that falls into the Galt rumor mill I feel sorry for you! andfor all of the John Dillon, Anthony Hubbard Twitty fans I hope you and your family NEVER have to feel the pain of loosing a son to some strung out paranoid tweeker!!!! Both JD and Anthony will have to answer to thier maker someday and mabee while being locked up they will also try to make a change in thier lives!!! Just try to respect both of these familes! I know them both just like me they have all been apart of Galt for many many years before our town turned into a war zone. this is now the 3 time I myself have lost friends to men who's solution to little problems was to kill thier friends!!!! Wake up people, get away from the Drugs and make big changes in your lives!!!!!! "

" It is sad to see these comments turn in to a twisted myspace / texting "language" battle. Get off drugs, stay away from gangs, obey the laws, contribute to society, learn proper English, provide for your family, have some respect for one another and everything will work out. All the families involved are hurt forever. "
