The gunfire that killed Matthew Pavelka Campbell's suspects were two men -- later identified as Ramon Arranda, and David Garcia -- who were in a black Cadillac Escalade near the Ramada Inn, just outside the Burbank Airport. Campbell noticed there was no license plate and since the area was suspicious for drug dealings, he requested the driver to step out of the vehicle. Campbell had already requested backup, and Pavelka was on the scene, approaching the vehicle by the time the driver, Arranda, got out and opened fire. He shot Campbell in the torso and side of the head, knocking the officer down before Pavelka engaged him. The passenger, Garcia, then stepped out and shot Pavelka repeatedly, after Arranda was fatally wounded.
