Joseph Goulart was a 56-year-old freelance news photographer from Boston who had worked in Wichita for nearly three decades. On August 11, 1976, he went to cover a developing sniper incident downtown and was found slumped over and bloodied in the front seat of his car by a summer intern from the Wichita Eagle and Beacon.

The shooter was 19-year-old Michael Soles, who had traveled from Sand Springs, Oklahoma, and fired from the roof of a downtown motel. Soles killed Goulart and 57-year-old Elmer W. Hensley, and wounded seven others before officers wounded and took him into custody. Family members described Soles as quiet and religious; he had been accepted to a Wichita college but had returned to Oklahoma. The motive for the shooting remains unclear.

If anyone knew Goulart, Hensley, or Soles, or has information about that day in August 1976, please share what you remember.
