On the night of July 22, 2015, in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, 12-year-old Daniel Bever was fatally stabbed inside his family home during an attack carried out by his older brothers, 18-year-old Robert Bever and 16-year-old Michael Bever. The brothers attacked family members with knives; Daniel managed to call 911 and in doing so helped save the lives of his two sisters before the call was cut off when the attackers discovered him. He and four other family members were found dead when police arrived.

Two sisters survived the incident: a toddler who was unharmed and a 13-year-old who was critically injured and identified Robert and Michael as the assailants. The brothers fled but were captured shortly afterward in woods behind the house with the assistance of a K9 unit. Investigators determined the brothers had planned the killings and sought notoriety, allegedly intending a cross-country killing spree to follow.

Robert Bever pleaded guilty to five counts of first-degree murder and received life without parole. Michael Bever was convicted of five counts of first-degree murder and sentenced to five consecutive life terms with parole eligibility. Claims of physical and verbal abuse by the parents were made by the brothers and one surviving sister. If anyone knew Daniel or has information about the family leading up to July 22, 2015, please share what you remember.
