Arrest of Man Accused of Killing Four Lifts Shadow over Anaconda
ANACONDA, MONTANA, AUG 10 – Michael Paul Brown fatally shot four people at a local bar before fleeing, prompting a seven-day manhunt involving multiple agencies that ended with his capture, authorities said.
- On August 1, 2023, Michael Paul Brown fatally shot four patrons at The Owl Bar in Anaconda, Montana, before fleeing the scene.
- The shooting prompted a weeklong manhunt involving multiple agencies, culminating in Brown’s arrest near the scene on a Friday afternoon.
- Victims included Nancy Lauretta Kelley, a 64-year-old nurse and bartender known for her community care, along with three other local men aged 59 to 74.
- Montana Attorney General Knudsen noted that the public tips were instrumental in forcing Brown out of a previously cleared area, which helped lead to his capture, while local casinos pledged to donate their bar sales to aid the families affected by the tragedy.
