Calvin Lee Carlisle was 27 and Black/African American when he died in Beckley, West Virginia, on August 25, 2016. His death is recorded as a fatal gun-violence incident; local reporting shows police treated the case as a homicide and publicly announced they were looking for a murder suspect after identifying Carlisle.

Later reporting records that tips to CrimeStoppers led to an arrest in the Beckley murder investigation, described as the arrest of a Beckley man accused in a fatal shooting. The accessible reports do not preserve enough detail to reconstruct where or how Carlisle was found, what evidence pointed to the person sought, the arrested individual’s name, the specific charges, or whether the case later proceeded to trial or other resolution.
