Calvin’s girlfriend, Shay Hardy spoke with officers and confirmed that Demetrius was the victims nephew. Hardy said he loved music and was working toward creating a career out of it playing at local night clubs and different shows. “Oh, Calvin, he was so outgoing, ambitious and humble,” Hardy said. “He always checked on the people he loved.”
Hardy also detailed what she remembers about the night of boyfriends death.
“I got the call that he’d been shot,” Hardy sadly explained. As she walked up to the yellow tape stretched across a yard on Woodland Avenue, Hardy knew something was very wrong. “They kept pushing me back, they was like go, go go,” she recalled. Hardy said she stayed on scene all night and eventually was asked to identify her boyfriend’s body. “That was him. He didn’t even get a chance to be a father for real, he was just taking off in his career. My son doesn’t have a father,” she said.
Police have not yet announced a motive in the shooting at this time. Demetrius was charged with homicide in the case.
