Mary Lou Nye, 62, of Baroda, Michigan, was killed on February 20, 2016, during a series of apparently random shootings that spread across Kalamazoo County. Nye had been out with her sister-in-law Mary Jo Nye and two friends; after dinner at a Cracker Barrel they were sitting in their vehicle in the restaurant parking lot when a man opened fire, killing all four women. Earlier that evening the same gunman had shot and killed a father and son at a car dealership and seriously wounded another woman in an apartment complex parking lot.

Police identified 45-year-old Jason Brian Dalton, an Uber driver, as the suspect; authorities said he had been taking fares between shootings. Dalton was arrested without incident in the early morning of February 21 and a semi-automatic handgun was recovered from his vehicle. He confessed to the shootings and was charged with six counts of murder, two counts of assault with intent to commit murder, and multiple felony firearm charges.

Does anyone have information about Mary Lou Nye’s life in Baroda or the evening of February 20 that could help piece together what happened?
