Diamond Montrece Sampson, 22, was shot and killed on June 6, 2015, at Jefferson Court Apartments in Goldsboro, North Carolina. Police responded to reports of shots fired just before 11 p.m. and found Sampson in the driver’s seat of a vehicle; he was declared dead at the scene.

Investigators arrested 19-year-old Yquan Dashay Holloman at an East Holly Street apartment and charged him with first-degree murder and discharging a weapon into occupied property causing serious bodily injury. Prosecutors’ case relied largely on witnesses who said they saw Holloman load the gun and heard him admit the shooting; no physical evidence directly tied Holloman to the crime. The defense pointed to inconsistencies in witness statements and said some witnesses had been using marijuana that night.

Holloman was convicted of first-degree murder and given life without parole, plus 73 to 100 months for the weapons charge. The defense has appealed, arguing the conviction rests on questionable witness credibility. Anyone who knew Diamond or saw activity around Jefferson Court Apartments that night is asked to come forward with information?
