Gwinnett Police investigating homicide of pregnant 16-year-old

GWINNETT COUNTY, GA– The Gwinnett Police Department is investigating the death of a pregnant 16-year-old girl whose body was found in a wooded area on July 15 after her family tracked her cell phone.

Jesus Monroy, the ex-boyfriend of Mia Campos, was arrested today, July 17, in connection with her death.  He has been charged with giving false statements to a police officer. The investigation is still active.

At approximately 1 a.m. on July 15, officers responded to the 3600 block of Stephens Road in Loganville after the family of Mia Campos called 911 to report finding her body in a wooded area just off the roadway.  The family told officers that Campos left the house the previous night with an unknown person.  When she did not return home, her family used a cell phone application to find her body.

Based on the initial evidence discovered at the scene, investigators were unable to determine how Campos died.  After an autopsy was completed on July 16, however, the medical examiner determined that the manner of Campos’ death was a homicide.

Detectives, crime scene investigators, and the medical examiner’s office all responded to process the scene and speak with witnesses.
