The Coroner’s Office described Diamond as a male, the same gender listed on Diamond’s Facebook page. But one friend said Diamond was in the midst of a gender transition.
George Melichar, who knew Diamond through a French Quarter retail job, said the two had a conversation on the subject several months ago.
“Devin was very loved, and Devin was very kind,” Melichar said. “And that's what makes this more difficult. In addition to losing a friend, we lost an LGBT leader.”

The morning of June 5, 2015 Devin Diamond was found dead in the passenger seat of her car engulfed in flames. After finding out Sunday evening I could not sleep. The next morning I was going to incorporate my training run into visiting the sight of arson and her death. After a few blocks I had to take the bus to New Orleans East.

Walking to Flite Court & Alost Street felt like I was walking in the dark looking for a light switch.

Seeing Flite Court was like preparing to climb over a brick wall.

A local resident showed me the exact spot of the car fire. Devin died next to an automotive shop.
