Trewan Vonnes Sanders, 22, a Black man from Texarkana, Texas, was found fatally shot just inside the doorway of a home in the 1200 block of Nolthenius Street after police were dispatched at 4:51 a.m. on August 8, 2025. Officers responding to a 911 call discovered Sanders deceased at the scene; investigators described the timing and location as consistent with a targeted act unfolding in the predawn hours.

By the afternoon of August 8, detectives announced the arrest of a teenage male from Ashdown, Arkansas, who was charged with Sanders’s murder and booked into the Bi-State Jail. Authorities have not released the suspect’s name because of his age, and no additional arrests were reported. Public incident logs and funeral notices published the same day corroborate the date and basic circumstances, but investigators had not made a motive public.
