Murder investigation launched following death of pedestrian in Arnold incident

A murder investigation is now underway following the death of a man who was hit by a car at the weekend.

Multiple pedestrians were injured after a red Vauxhall Astra mounted a kerb and struck a group of people in Arnold.

One of the pedestrians – who can now be named as Tyler Fairman – sustained life-threatening injuries during the incident.

The 26-year-old was immediately rushed to hospital following the collision in Market Place, at 1.12am on Saturday (9 May).

Despite the best efforts of medical professionals, Tyler was pronounced dead a few days later, on Tuesday (12 May) night.

Suspect Duane Anthony was arrested on the Saturday evening and charged with five counts of attempted murder on Monday (11 May) morning. 

The 40-year-old was additionally charged with aggravated vehicle taking, driving while disqualified and driving without valid insurance.

Anthony was remanded into custody on Monday. He is currently next due to appear at Nottingham Crown Court on 8 June.

Detective Chief Inspector Ruby Burrow, who is leading the investigation for Nottinghamshire Police, said:

“As we release the sad news of Tyler’s death, our first thoughts go to his family and loved ones at this difficult time.

“Both they and the other people injured or affected by this collision continue to be supported by specially trained police officers.

“We can also confirm today that this is now a murder investigation.

“As such, criminal proceedings are active, so anything relating to this incident should be shared with the police, not online, as doing so could potentially impede the pursuit of justice.

“We are aware of videos of the incident circulating on social media and have informed the victims and their families of this.

“They have appealed to anyone who has shared or posted any such videos to take them down immediately so that Tyler’s family can grieve in peace.”

Anyone who witnessed what happened or has any information relating to the incident should please call 101, quoting incident 46 of 9 May 2026.
