Darius Calvin is charged with first-degree murder after a Whitehaven shooting.

A first-degree murder charge, a firearm count, and a felon-in-possession count are what police have filed. They are not a finding that Calvin shot anyone, and they are not a finding, in this case, that he has a prior felony conviction. On Sunday, Oct. 4, 2026, Memphis police say a man was killed in Whitehaven and that Darius Calvin, 26, was arrested later at an Arkansas hospital. He is waiting to be brought back to Shelby County. Custody across a state line is process. It is not a trial.

FOX13 Memphis and Action News 5 reported that Memphis police went to the 4600 block of Yosemite Court, at Millview Drive, in Whitehaven just after 1:30 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 4, 2026. Officers found a man with a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Police have not released his name in those accounts. A death at the scene is what officers reported. It does not, by itself, name a defendant.

FOX13 Memphis reported that homicide investigators identified Darius Calvin, 26, as the shooter. Action News 5 and WREG reported the same identification and said Calvin was also hurt. Police found him hours later at a hospital in Crittenden County, Arkansas, the stations reported. He was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, employing a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony, and being a convicted felon in possession of a handgun. WREG reported he is awaiting extradition to Shelby County. An arrest in a hospital and a charge list are what police say they did. They do not decide who fired, or why.

WREG reported that the Calvin arrest was one of two homicide arrests Memphis police described Sunday, and that the department put its homicide clearance rate at 89 percent afterward. A clearance rate is a department statistic. It is not a verdict in this shooting, and the other arrest is a different case. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
