"Prosecutors say Campbell, an aspiring rapper, wrote a song referencing throwing acid at someone and searched online for ways to remove sulfuric acid from car fabric in the days following Ikram's attack. He pleaded not guilty to charges including assault and possession of a noxious substance. Campbell's attorney did not comment when asked by FOX 5 NY, although his father did give reporters the middle finger."
"Ikram has undergone numerous surgeries since the attack but says she remains resilient. "I've realized that just being a good person and being true to who I am, no matter what, is where Terrell lost," Ikram said of the suspect. Ikram said Tuesday she never heard Campbell's name before the arrest and still does not know why she was targeted."
A 29-year-old man, Terrell Campbell of Brooklyn, was arrested in connection with a March 2021 sulfuric acid attack on Nafiah Ikram outside her Long Island home. Community tips and cooperation from technology companies helped identify Campbell. Prosecutors say he wrote a song referencing throwing acid and searched online for ways to remove sulfuric acid from car fabric after the attack. Ikram suffered burns to her face, neck and hands, and damage to her eyesight, and has undergone numerous surgeries. A GoFundMe has raised nearly $600,000 for her. Campbell is held without bail, faces charges including assault and possession of a noxious substance, and could face up to 25 years if convicted. No motive has been released.
