Terrell Campbell, 29, of Brooklyn, charged in Elmont acid attack on Nafiah Ikram
"Terrell Campbell, 29, of Brooklyn, appeared in a Mineola courtroom Tuesday morning and pleaded not guilty to a Monday indictment on two counts of assault, one count of criminal possession of a weapon and one count of unlawful possession of noxious materials in connection with an attack on Nafiah Ikram on March 17, 2021. Ikram, then a 21-year-old Hofstra student, was splashed with sulfuric acid in her driveway by a hooded and masked assailant, leaving her with second- and third-degree burns on her face."
"Prosecutors said the case was stalled for years and detectives pursued leads, but did not have a license plate or suspect until late last year, when a tip pointed to Campbell. Prosecutors said tips from the community, license plate records, an online search history and lyrics in a rap song helped build the case against Campbell."
