Carl Martell Calhoun, a 34-year-old man, was killed on Friday evening, April 24, 2026, after a confrontation inside a home in Davison, Michigan. Police said officers were called to the 400 block of South Dayton Street at about 6:34 p.m. for a reported shooting. When they arrived, they found Calhoun inside the residence suffering from at least one gunshot wound.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators said the violence began as a disturbance between Calhoun and another adult man at the home. That disturbance reportedly escalated into a physical confrontation, and then gunfire. Police said the two men knew each other, suggesting this was not a random attack, but they have not publicly detailed what the disagreement was about or what led the encounter to turn deadly.
After the shooting, the suspected gunman left the scene. Authorities identified the wanted suspect as 51-year-old Nakia Tyrese Taylor of Detroit. Police described him as 5 feet 4 inches tall, about 140 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair, and said he should be considered armed and dangerous. Investigators said he was believed to have fled in a burgundy Dodge conversion-style van with Michigan license plate FAB5598.
Multiple agencies assisted Davison police as the investigation unfolded, including nearby police departments, Michigan State Police, the Genesee County Sheriff's Office, and the Michigan State Police Bridgeport Crime Laboratory. Detectives also sought help from the public, asking anyone with information about Taylor's whereabouts, the shooting, or possible video from the area to contact law enforcement.
As of the latest available online reports, no arrest had been announced, and Taylor was still being sought by police. No formal charges, court appearances, trial proceedings, or conviction information were available in the public reporting reviewed. Calhoun's funeral arrangements were later announced through Lawrence E. Moon Funeral Home in Flint, with services scheduled for May 4, 2026, and interment at Great Lakes National Cemetery in Holly, Michigan.
