On the afternoon of Thursday, September 2, 1971, 23-year-old deliveryman Michael Preston Mike Bown was at Natters’ Market, 3065 South 700 East in Salt Lake City, making a bread delivery when an armed man entered the store to commit a robbery. The gunman opened fire; Michael Bown was shot and died at the scene. A 35-year-old clerk, Carolyn Yvonne Kingston, was also shot and later died. A second delivery worker was shot at but the weapon failed to discharge.

The assailant, described only as an armed male, fled the scene. The double homicide remains unsolved and is now a cold case with the Unified Police Department of Greater Salt Lake; no arrests have been announced in connection with these killings.

Did anyone in the Salt Lake City area in 1971 see or remember the shooter or other details from that robbery?
