Calista Marcella Anderson was 21 when she was shot and killed on September 3, 2021. The shooting happened just before 11:30 p.m. in the 3200 block of Leeds Street in Little Rock, Arkansas; police found Calista, a Caucasian female, fatally shot at the scene.

Born in Denver and raised for a time in Flint, Michigan, Calista was a mother to a young son. Family gathered for a funeral service in Flint where relatives remembered her; she is survived by her son, her grandmother, several siblings and extended family and friends.

The Little Rock Police Department investigated the homicide and a 23-year-old, Alex K. Sims, was arrested and charged with capital murder and five counts of terroristic acts. Does anyone who knew Calista or was in the Leeds Street area that night have information that could help?
