Michael Barker, a kid from the neighborhood who was best pals with now convicted murderer Anthony Lopez, might not have known what his friend was going to do when he walked into the woods with victim William Kintzel. But chances are he did that evening around 7 p.m. on April 10, 2022.

Surveillance video from a nearby business showed proof it was a hit and run accident, that the Saturn was traveling east on McKinnie, ran a red light at Lafayette and struck the northbound Chevrolet Silverado, according to a probable cause affidavit penned by Sgt. Matt Wilson, assigned to the Fort Wayne Police Department’s homicide, but a former fatal traffic crash detective.
