NFL Star's Brother Accused of Mother's Murder
18 Aug
Summary
- NFL player Calais Campbell's brother is accused of murdering their mother.
- The victim was found with several cuts to her neck.
- Campbell described his brother as mentally ill and diagnosed with schizophrenia.
Baltimore Ravens player Calais Campbell has broken his silence regarding the tragic death of his mother, Nateal Campbell, who was allegedly killed by his brother, Ciarre Campbell, in June. The 71-year-old matriarch was found deceased in a Buckhead townhome on June 30, suffering from several cuts to her neck.
In a 911 call obtained by TMZ Sports, Campbell informed dispatchers that his brother, Ciarre, 41, is "mentally ill" and has been diagnosed with schizophrenia. Campbell had called for a welfare check after noticing unusual behavior from his brother and being unable to contact their mother.
Ciarre Campbell was apprehended by authorities after reportedly barricading himself inside the home. He has since been booked on multiple charges, including murder and aggravated assault. Ciarre's attorney maintains his client's innocence and has asked the public to respect the family's privacy. The Campbell family released a statement mourning their loss, focusing on their grief and their mother's reunion with her late husband, without directly addressing Ciarre's alleged involvement.
