Lubbock Police charged 25-year-old Carlos Andrew Rodriquez with murder after he confessed to killing Campos and then led police to the body. Chief Stevens revealed that Rodriguez became the prime suspect "a few months ago."

Campos' cause of death has not been confirmed by the Medical Examiner's Office. However, Rodriguez said he "placed Zoe Campos in a ‘rear naked choke’ and strangled her until she was dead" according to his arrest warrant.
