Calvin Felton, an 18-year-old Black man, was found with a single gunshot wound to his stomach in the yard of a residence on Martin Luther King Drive in Tangipahoa, Louisiana, shortly after 1:00 PM on Sunday, May 28, 2023. He was taken to a hospital but died of his injury. Investigators say he was involved in a verbal altercation before the shooting and may have been shot elsewhere nearby before collapsing where he was found. His mother reported he had been struggling with his mental health prior to the incident.

Authorities identified 26-year-old Tommie Diamond of Kentwood as a suspect. Diamond, who was already out on bond on an unrelated 2020 second-degree murder charge and wearing a court-ordered ankle monitor, was tracked to a family member’s home in Kentwood on the night of June 1, 2023. When deputies moved in, Diamond barricaded himself inside, armed with a handgun. After hours of negotiations during which he made threats of suicide by cop, negotiators heard a gunshot; a drone later confirmed Diamond had died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Diamond had been sought on charges including second-degree murder, obstruction of justice, and contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile; investigators say the shooting may have been over money, possibly related to gambling on video games. Does anyone have information about Calvin’s activities that afternoon or the alleged dispute?
