Calvin Lee Jr. was a 37 year old man from Alexandria, Louisiana, whose death in the early hours of February 19, 2026, became a matter of public record after the man charged in his killing pleaded guilty to manslaughter. Little has been published about his life before that night: no biography, career history, or family statement has been made public, and this page will be updated if reputable sources confirm more about who he was outside the circumstances of his death.
What is documented comes from police and court records. According to the Alexandria Police Department, officers were called to the 700 block of Bolton Avenue in Alexandria at approximately 12:29 a.m. on February 19, 2026, after a report of a stabbing. They found Lee suffering from a stab wound. He was taken to a local hospital, where he died of his injuries.
A 44 year old Alexandria man, Michael Steven Hargrove, was arrested in connection with the stabbing and initially charged with second degree murder. His bond was set at just over one million dollars, and court records show he also faced unrelated charges for failure to appear or pay a fine and for burglary. The case moved through the Rapides Parish court system over the following months.
On November 4, 2026, Hargrove pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter in connection with Lee's death. Sentencing has been scheduled for December 16, 2026, according to online Rapides Parish Clerk of Court records. No further detail about the relationship between Lee and Hargrove, or about what led to the confrontation on Bolton Avenue, has been made public by investigators or prosecutors.
Lee's death adds his name to the Alexandria Police Department's homicide caseload for 2026. No public tributes, obituary, or statements from relatives have surfaced in news coverage as of this writing, and nothing is publicly known about his occupation, education, or survivors. This page reflects only what has been confirmed by police and court sources and will be corrected or expanded as more becomes known.
