On the morning of April 14, 1986, 25-year-old Terry L Bakker was shot after confronting an intruder at his home at 2049 E. Atkin Ave. in Salt Lake City. A noise at the front door roused Bakker; when he partially opened the door a man forced his way in. That man fled across the front lawn and Bakker gave chase. Bakker soon returned to the house and was found collapsed near the front porch; he was taken to a hospital and later died of his wounds.

Witnesses described the fleeing suspect as a white male in his early 20s, about 5 feet 10 inches and 160 pounds, with short curly dark brown or black hair and possibly wearing a red stocking cap. After the shooting the suspect was reported to have been picked up by someone in a light blue compact car. No arrests have been made and the case remains an open unsolved homicide.

Anyone who remembers that spring morning, the car, or a young man matching that description seen in the neighborhood is urged to come forward with information.
