- Fox News obtained a document showing Jesus Campos crossed into the U.S. from Mexico on October 8 – a week after the Las Vegas shooting
- The document does not show how long Campos was in the country
- It’s unclear why investigators would have let Campos – the only witness to the shooting – out of the country so shortly after the deadly incident
- It’s also baffling how he would have been able to drive a car back into the U.S. when he had recently suffered a gunshot wound to his right leg
- Campos’ union said that the trip to Mexico was pre-planned
- Fox News also discovered that Campos was not a licensed security guard in Nevada, but officials refused to offer an explanation for that
Jesus Campos, the Mandalay Bay security guard who’s a key witness in the Las Vegas shooting, skipped town just days after the massacre, a new report reveals.
On Wednesday, Fox News’ Tucker Carlson received a document showing that Campos reentered the country from Mexico a week after the shooting.
The Customs and Border Patrol document didn’t say how long he had been in the country, or his reason for traveling south of the border.
All it showed was that he crossed back into the U.S. on October 8 via the San Ysidro border check in California and appeared to be driving a rental car with California plates.

It’s unclear how long Campos was out of the country. But the document shows he crossed back into the U.S. at the San Ysidro crossing in California on October 8

The document raises several questions – the biggest being why investigators would have let Campos out of the country so soon after the shooting when he was one of the key witnesses.
It’s also unclear how he physically could have completed the trip, driving hundreds of miles when he had recently suffered a gunshot wound to his leg.
Fox News also figured out that Campos was not licensed as a private security guard in Nevada. When they called the Clark County Sheriff’s Office to see what kind of licensing is required to work as a security guard at a casino, they were hung up on.
‘Jesus Campos is a victim and we don’t speak about victims,’ a sheriff’s spokesperson reportedly said.
