Barbara D. Birdie Baker was 22 when a domestic dispute in Houma, Louisiana, ended in her death on March 28, 2014. Police responding to reports at a housing complex found Baker, her 22-year-old boyfriend Skylar Hayes, and the couple’s one-year-old child barricaded inside a residence.

A perimeter and SWAT team were established and negotiators made contact. The infant was released unharmed, but officers later heard gunfire and found Baker fatally shot when they entered the home. After several hours, authorities used tear gas to remove Hayes, who was taken into custody and later charged; he reportedly had outstanding warrants at the time.

This was described as the lethal escalation of a domestic dispute between Baker and the child’s father. Does anyone have information about Baker, her whereabouts before that night, or details that could shed light on what led up to the confrontation?
