Philip Keller sentenced to 50 years in prison after murdering fiancee
Following his guilty plea, Keller was sentenced to 50 years in prison, with Judge Curt Jacobus detailing how the former will be ineligible for parole or good behavior until half of that 50 year sentence is served in full.
Back in 2021, Keller, a mixed martial arts fighter who fought under the Titan FC banner, phoned law enforcement officers to report the death of his fiancee, Campitelli, in the hours after the piercing artist had been shot multiple times.
Attending the scene of the murder, responding deputies noted Campitelli had been shot multiple times in her shared apartment on School House Street, with Keller later charged with first-degree premeditated murder.
