David Bartholomew Barry McNulty was 52 when he was working the late shift at the Garden Island Party Store on Illinois Street in Fairbanks the night of May 30, 1994. A panic alarm brought police at 11:07 p.m., and officers found the clerk fatally shot inside; the cash register had been emptied, indicating a robbery that turned deadly. Reports identify a single gunshot and describe the scene as a convenience-style store closed out by crime-scene tape.

No publicly named assailant or clear getaway has been reported. In the months and years that followed the killing remained unsolved, with no arrests publicly announced and the investigation described as open; the case appears in later cold-case roundups and community callouts. If anyone remembers seeing something near the Garden Island Party Store on May 30, 1994, please share what you know.
