On the evening of July 9, 2017, Michael Wayne Daniels, 49, was at Crawford Park in Tulsa for a Sunday softball game with his team the Church Crashers. Daniels, known to friends and family as Tody Baby or King Tody and often identified by his loud orange socks, was among dozens of people when a large disturbance erupted and gunfire broke out. Daniels and another bystander, Chantel Mack, were killed in the shooting; the scene went from recreation to a crime scene in moments.

Tulsa police investigated and later named a suspect, 23-year-old Rickey Ballard. When a warrant for his arrest in connection with the murders was issued, Ballard was already in custody with the Department of Corrections on unrelated charges. Daniels was a father to one son and remembered by family as the life of the party and someone who never met a stranger.

Did anyone who attended that game or who knew Michael Daniels see anything that could help clarify how the disturbance began?
