The June 27 shooting angered the community because Bowen, 40, was shot three times (once in the back of the head) while fleeing after a traffic stop, and because some witnesses said he was unarmed. After an “investigation” the government determined this murder was “justifiable” Officers James Sheehan (3 Shots), Brian Smigielski (4 shots).
