Diamond Manning, 21, was found with fatal gunshot wounds on a sidewalk in Gary, Indiana, on the night of March 2, 2024. Officers were sent to 30th and Jefferson Street after a welfare check call at about 11:05 p.m., and she was discovered at the scene.

Investigators focused on Diamond’s 40-year-old girlfriend, Leveda Boyd, after interviews and evidence suggested the couple had been having ongoing relationship issues. Surveillance footage and license plate reader data placed Boyd’s white Chevy Equinox near where Diamond’s body was found. That tracking conflicted with Boyd’s initial statement that she had last seen Diamond at home earlier that evening. A relative had dropped Diamond off and then saw Boyd’s vehicle outside before Diamond disappeared.

Phone records and security video put Boyd’s car heading toward the scene before a final text was sent from Diamond’s phone, which was not recovered with the body; authorities believe Boyd took the phone. Boyd was arrested and charged with murder. If anyone knew Diamond or has information about the events that night, please come forward.
