Diamond Nicole Love, 20, was found shot to death in her home on Wilbur Nelson Road in Milan, Tennessee, on August 23, 2021. A second victim, 21-year-old Marcus Smith Jr. of Humboldt, was also found deceased at the scene. The Gibson County Sheriff’s Office and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation jointly handled the case.

Investigators focused on Diamond’s former boyfriend, 20-year-old Frederick Yates Jr., after evidence and witness statements reportedly placed him at the scene and a history of volatility in the relationship was reported. Both victims’ deaths were determined to be fatal shootings. A Gibson County grand jury returned indictments on October 15, 2021, charging Yates with two counts of first-degree murder, especially aggravated burglary, and use of a firearm in the commission of a dangerous felony; warrants led to his arrest in Ringgold, Georgia, and he was being held without bond.

If anyone knew Diamond, Marcus, their routines, or has information about the events leading up to August 23, 2021, please come forward with what you know.
