Dyamond Hamilton was 24 when she was killed in her Las Vegas apartment in the early hours of March 2, 2023. An aspiring rapper known as 90 Splitz who had moved from Norfolk, Virginia, she was found on her bedroom floor with multiple gunshot wounds at the Vista Del Valle Apartments on West Viking Road.

The sole suspect was her 28-year-old roommate, Virgil Mack. Hamilton had given him a 30-day notice to move out, and prosecutors say an argument about that eviction escalated after she returned home with a friend. About 10 shots were reported; Mack called 911 and admitted to shooting his roommate. A witness at the scene said they never saw Hamilton holding a weapon, and investigators reported that the scene evidence did not support Mack’s claim of self-defense. One account from Hamilton’s mother says Dyamond was shot 17 times in the back as she was walking away; the 911 dispatcher’s attempt to direct aid was reportedly refused by Mack.

Did anyone know Dyamond, her music, or have information about that night?
