James Blake Says He Didn't Know Family Killed at His Home

Tennis player James Blake says he didn't know the family who died last week in the Florida home they were renting from him.

Police said Darrin Campbell shot his wife Kimberly, 19-year-old son Colin Campbell and teenage daughter, Megan, each in the head with a.40-caliber handgun on May 7 before setting the 6,000-square-foot house north of downtown Tampa on fire and shooting himself in the head.

The million-dollar home was located in Avila, a gated community known for its resident sports stars and CEOs.
Blake, speaking at an event in New Haven to promote this summer's New Haven Open, told reporters his thoughts and prayers are with the family, and he hopes police will keep him in the loop as their investigation continues.

He said his only contact with Campbell was “a few emails for the lease agreement.” He said he never met any of the family face-to-face.

Campbell had been an executive for several high-profile businesses, including a stint at PODS, the mobile storage company. He was most recently working at a records management firm and volunteering as treasurer at his children's private school. His wife, Kimberly, was a stay-at-home mom, according to her father, Gordon Lambie.
