It started with a game of basketball. Kids in the Delmar Drive neighborhood play almost every night, and Saturday their ball found its way into a yard down the street where Matthew Owens was staying.



Neighbors say Owens confronted the kids as they chased their ball.



"We said we're sorry," says David Dinkins, one of the kids playing. "He said 'get the F out of the yard!'"



Dinkins says that's when Owens started spewing racial slurs and pulled out two knives.
