Man Arrested After Keirra Calvin Fatal Forrest City Hit-and-Run, Police Say

FORREST CITY, Arkansas - Forrest City police arrested a man after a fatal hit-and-run in the Newcastle Road area that killed Keirra Calvin, 28, according to local reporting.

The Wynne Progress reported that Isaac Sanders, 28, was accused of striking Calvin with a truck shortly after midnight on Friday while she was walking. The report said Calvin was taken to Forrest City Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.

Police located the vehicle in the 400 block of Tennessee Street through an OnStar alert device and took Sanders into custody, according to the report. It said he was released on a $100,000 bond on a negligent homicide allegation.

Charge is an allegation

A criminal charge is not a conviction. The available report does not establish guilt, and the case should be decided through the legal process. The report also said Sanders told police he believed he had hit a deer; that is an attributed account, not an independently verified explanation.

This update replaces earlier uncertainty about whether an arrest had been made. It identifies the reporting source and distinguishes confirmed police actions from claims that remain subject to investigation and court proceedings.

The location, arrest, bond and allegation are all attributed to the local report; no court outcome was available in that reporting.

Where to find updates

Forrest City Police Department announcements and court records are the appropriate sources for any later charges, hearings or case outcome. Readers should be cautious of posts that present an allegation as a final determination.
