Melvin was a member of the Jersey City Police Department. He was a rookie. He had less than one year of service.
Officer Santiago and his partner responded to a report of a robbery at a 24 hour pharmacy. It was 4:00 a.m.
Lawrence Campbell, age 27, had entered the pharmacy, assaulted a security guard and stole his gun.
Officer Santiago and his partner had just pulled into the parking lot as the man exited the building and opened fire on them. Officer Santiago was struck in the head before he was able to exit from the patrol car's passenger seat.
Other responding officers returned fire and killed Lawrence Campbell.

During this altercation, Lawrence Campbell had told a woman who was a customer in the pharmacy: "I'm going to be famous!".

He will be forever mourned. Oceans of tears will be shed for Melvin.

Friends describe him as a great guy who was trying to do the right thing. He was
proud to be a cop.

Thank you for your service to the public, Melvin.
Pray for all who die in the line of duty.
God save us from the Lost Ones and the Psychopaths who bring death to strangers. They are killing us, Father.
Pray that Melvin is in heaven. Pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
