Jamal Thompson Arrested in Murder of Dr. Eugenia Calle

Police have arrested a man in the murder of a prominent cancer researcher less than two days after she was found dead in her Atlanta apartment.

Jamal Thompson, also known as Shamal, was arrested Thursday morning and charged in the death of Dr. Eugenia Calle.

It is unclear what lead investigators to believe Thompson, 27, was responsible for Calle’s murder.

Calle, 57, was found dead Tuesday night by her fiancé in her apartment at the Aqua Midtown building in Atlanta. Lt. Keith Meadows said the physician died of “blunt force trauma” to the head. She may have been dead up to 12 hours before her body was found.

Calle, who was selling the apartment, was a physician and cancer researcher. She made ground-breaking discoveries linking cancer with obesity. Calle had been the director of Analytic Epidemiology for the American Cancer Society since 1994. She was also a professor in Epidemiology at Emory University.
