On the night of August 20, 1980, in Salt Lake City, Theodore Tracy Ted Fields, 20, and his friend David Martin, 18, were shot as they left Liberty Park with two white female companions after an evening run. The group was walking away from the park at about 10:15 p.m. when a concealed shooter opened fire. Martin was struck first; Fields was fatally shot while rushing to help him. One of the women was treated for shrapnel wounds.

The attacker was identified as Joseph Paul Franklin, a white supremacist who said his motive was opposition to interracial relationships. Franklin confessed to the killings and was charged in state court with first-degree murder and in federal court with violating the victims’ civil rights. He was convicted in the cases and received two life sentences. Who knew Ted Fields or David Martin that night, or who remembers seeing anything unusual around Liberty Park after 10:00 p.m. on August 20, 1980?
