Daniel Lewis, 25, was shot and killed around 3:10 a.m. on a Wednesday on Pocasset Street in a north Baton Rouge neighborhood after arranging for a massage therapist to come to his home. Creel remained in the driver’s seat of the SUV while Lewis and two others—one an unidentified man—brought the therapist’s massage table into the house.

When Lewis and the unidentified man returned to the vehicle, Creel allegedly opened fire from inside the SUV, striking Lewis. Creel then reportedly fled the scene. Investigators with the Baton Rouge Police Department and the Louisiana State Police Fugitive Task Force identified and located Michael Creel Jr., who was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on a charge of second-degree murder in connection with Lewis’s death.
