.Soldier on leave from Iraq has throat cut in Dallas
A soldier scheduled to return to Iraq from a 30-day leave Monday is recovering in a Dallas hospital after his throat was cut from ear to ear.
Spc. Ramiro Campozano, 37, and his ex-wife, Twanna Hall, 30, were drinking in her Chevrolet Tahoe in a vacant lot near a nightclub when Campozano became ill and stepped out the passenger door to vomit. The two were among many in the lot in the 5000 block of Colonial Avenue about 11:30 p.m. Saturday.
Dallas police aren’t sure how Campozano was cut. Police said they have no suspects and no leads. Detectives were waiting to interview him once he got out of surgery late Sunday.
Even Hall said she isn’t sure what happened after he left her vehicle.
When the 5-foot-2-inch, 160-pound Campozano didn’t return after about five minutes, Hall went to check on him. She found him near the passenger door, lying on his chest in a pool of blood.
"I said, 'Boo, get up, Boo, get up.' But he didn't move," Hall said in an interview.
That's when she screamed. Two people who were nearby rushed to help Campozano.
Hall, who traveled from Lawton, Okla., to visit her ex-husband, said he may have fallen from the Tahoe and cut his neck on glass that littered the vacant lot.
The victim's brother, Juan Campozano, said that's unlikely.
"I could see him falling, but not getting cut from ear to ear. From a little bottle? Come on," he said.
