On the late evening of May 13, 2023, multiple 911 callers reported gunfire on County Street in Fall River, Massachusetts. Officers found 23-year-old Diamonte Odom on the sidewalk with a life-threatening gunshot wound to his face. He was transported to a Rhode Island hospital and pronounced dead in the early morning hours of May 14.

A lengthy homicide investigation by Fall River Police and Massachusetts State Police followed. A grand jury later returned indictments charging four men in connection with Odom’s death. Two men, 26-year-old Tajon Saxon and 26-year-old Quanif Johnson, were indicted on murder and illegal firearm possession charges. Dioni Tavarez-Leonirio, 25, was charged as an accessory after the fact, and 18-year-old Devin Alves faced drug and ammunition trafficking charges tied to the investigation.

Saxon was the subject of an interstate manhunt and was added to the state police’s Most Wanted List. After being located in an apartment in New Bedford and taken into custody hiding in a bathroom, he was arraigned on murder charges and held without bail.

If anyone has information about Diamonte Odom’s death or the events on County Street that night, please come forward.
