In Loving Memory of Torianno Lakeith Callahan
With heavy hearts, the community of Henrico County mourns the tragic and untimely passing of Torianno Lakeith Callahan, 43, whose life was lost on the night of Wednesday, February 25, 2026. His sudden departure has left a profound void in the lives of his family, friends, and all who knew him.
According to the Henrico Police Division, officers were dispatched around 9:20 p.m. following a 911 call reporting a suspicious situation involving a man walking in the middle of Nine Mile Road near Masonic Lane in the Varina Magisterial District. While officers were en route, the situation escalated when the caller reported that the man had been struck by a vehicle.
Upon arrival, first responders found Mr. Callahan suffering from severe trauma. Despite the urgency of the response, he was tragically pronounced dead at the scene. The loss of life in such sudden and heartbreaking circumstances has deeply affected the entire community.
Preliminary investigations indicate that Mr. Callahan was walking in the roadway along Nine Mile Road when he was struck by a pickup truck. Authorities confirmed that the driver remained at the scene and has been cooperating fully with investigators. Early findings suggest that drugs, alcohol, and speed were not contributing factors on the part of the driver. Investigators have indicated that Mr. Callahan may have been under the influence at the time of the incident, though the investigation remains ongoing.
While the details surrounding the accident are part of an active inquiry, what remains undeniable is the value of Torianno Callahan’s life. Beyond the headlines and official statements was a man whose presence mattered — a son, possibly a brother, a friend, and a member of the Henrico community. His life, like every life, carried meaning, memories, and relationships that now grieve his absence.
Tragedies such as this remind us of the fragility of life and the importance of compassion within our communities. In moments like these, we are called not to judge, but to extend understanding, kindness, and support to those who are mourning. The pain of losing a loved one unexpectedly is immeasurable, and the Callahan family now faces that unimaginable sorrow.
As Henrico Police continue their investigation, they encourage anyone with information to contact Crash Investigator T. Holmes at (804) 501-5000. Anonymous tips may also be submitted through Crime Stoppers at (804) 780-1000 or online via P3Tips.com. Community cooperation remains vital in ensuring that all facts are thoroughly reviewed.
Today, however, the focus is not solely on the circumstances of loss but on remembrance. We remember Torianno Lakeith Callahan as a human being whose life journey, though cut short, left its mark.
