The brother of Baltimore Ravens defensive end Calais Campbell was charged with murder Wednesday after their mother was found dead at the family’s home in Georgia, according to Fulton County Jail records.
Ciarre Campbell was booked shortly after midnight Wednesday on charges of murder, aggravated assault and possession of a knife, according to court records.
The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed to The Baltimore Sun on Tuesday night that Nateal Campbell, 71, the mother of Calais Campbell, died at the home. Atlanta Police said at the time that a male suspect was in custody.
Nateal Campbell was found unresponsive inside a home in the Buckhead section of Atlanta. According to a statement on the police department’s website, Atlanta Police responded to a welfare check at the home shortly after 1:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Upon arrival, officers learned that a male appeared to have barricaded himself inside the home, according to the statement. Police made entry into the residence and found an older woman unresponsive. She was pronounced dead at the scene by EMS.
Homicide investigators responded to the scene. Police said the investigation was ongoing and the report had not been finalized.
Ciarre Campbell is the brother of Calais Campbell, who played for the Falcons in 2023 before rejoining the Ravens this offseason. The family has not publicly commented on the charges.
“We are devastated to share that the Campbell Family has lost its matriarch, Mrs. Nateal Campbell,” Calais Campbell’s family said in a statement. “While the details of her passing are still being investigated, we take comfort in knowing she is reunited with our father, her beloved Chuck, and in the arms of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We ask for privacy at this time so that we may honor her and share in our overwhelming grief privately and as a family.”
