UNSOLVED / COLD CASES

Caroline Neal

Two black male suspects walked into the 7-Eleven at 319 E. 63rd St. sometime between 1:30 and 2:30 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 10, 2000, and opened fire on the clerk Caroline Neal. Neal, 58, died at the scene. Neal was a wife, mother and grandmother who took the part-time job that July to earn a little extra money. She lived in the Brookside area near the store. Police believe that a store manager at that 7-Eleven had previously kicked the suspects out of the store for shoplifting. The men returned and were in the store less than 20 seconds. The gunmen did not rob the store.

Anyone with information that can help solve this case is asked to call the Homicide Unit at 816-234-5140.
