Shawn J. Manymules, 26, was shot dead in Salt Lake City in the early morning of July 26, 2017. The shooting occurred near Pioneer Park at about 1:39 a.m., in front of the 360 Apartments at 360 S. 400 West. Witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots; when officers arrived they found bystanders performing CPR on Manymules. Medical personnel took over, but he died of two gunshot wounds to the chest.

No one interviewed by police actually saw the shooting. Investigators said two unidentified suspects were seen fleeing the scene, last observed running southbound on 400 West before heading west through the Big D Construction property. Manymules was known to frequent the Pioneer Park area and a local men’s shelter that summer; funeral services were held in Dennehotso, Arizona, where he was buried.

The case remains unsolved and the Salt Lake City Police Department has appealed for public assistance. Does anyone who was near Pioneer Park that night remember seeing people run toward the construction property or other details that could help?
