Police say the murder was in retaliation of a crime Campbell allegedly committed against the suspects. 

Palacios was arrested after reports of shots fired were reported in Waukegan on Sunday. While she was interviewed by police, they learned of her involvement in the Campbell murder. She was charged with the crime and bond was set at $2 million. The other three suspects were arrested Wednesday, and bond was set at $3 million.
