After nearly two months on the run, Diamond was apprehended on May 21, 2024, by U.S. Marshals. He was located and arrested at a residence on Case Court in Cleveland, Ohio. Authorities charged him with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the incident.

On December 9, 2024, Diamond formally pleaded guilty to the charge in Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas. His sentencing is scheduled for January 7, 2025, where he will appear before Judge David Matia. This case highlights the devastating consequences of violence in the community and serves as a solemn reminder of the lasting impact such incidents have on families, friends, and local residents. Bedford Heights continues to mourn the loss of La’Quan Evans, whose life was tragically cut short.

Upon arrival, firefighters observed flames coming from a first-floor window. Though the building primarily serves commercial purposes, multiple individuals, including children, were reportedly living in office units in the basement. All occupants were safely evacuated, and Maple Heights firefighters assisted in the rescue of several children from one of the basement units.

Surveillance footage captured two individuals wearing masks, hoods, and gloves entering the building near the location where the fire started. One of the suspects appeared to be carrying lighter fluid, suggesting premeditated arson. The suspects quickly exited the building after starting the fire.
