Thomas William Baker Jr., known as Tom Tom, was 43 when he was shot and killed in Flint, Michigan, on October 21, 2014. He was found collapsed at the bottom of a small flight of stairs near a door into a home on the 2700 block of Seneca Street with two gunshot wounds to the head and later died at Hurley Medical Center. Baker was a father of six, recently engaged, described by family as gentle and creative, and had written two unpublished books and worked on small inventions.

Investigators recovered items at the scene including marijuana and a machete propped against a wall, and later developed a tip that led them to 19-year-old Noah Tanial Parker, who lived nearby. Parker initially denied involvement but admitted buying marijuana from Baker; prosecutors said he made statements to friends suggesting he shot a man twice in the head. Parker was charged in connection with Baker’s killing and later convicted of voluntary manslaughter, manufacture of marijuana, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, with sentencing and an appeal addressed in subsequent proceedings.

If anyone knew Baker, his routines, or saw activity around Seneca Street on October 21, 2014, can you share information that might clarify what happened that day?
