William Carson ’Bill’ Isaacs Jr., 75, a former head football coach at Pickens High School, was shot dead on Monday, September 14, 2015, in a grassy area near his home on North Homestead Road in Pickens, South Carolina. His neighbor and friend Dickie Ray Stewart, who discovered him and called 911, was also fatally shot while on the phone with a dispatcher trying to get help.

Authorities identified 64-year-old neighbor Albert Leon Bowen as a suspect and took him into custody at his home. Bowen was charged with two counts of murder and two counts of possession of a weapon during the commission of a crime and held without bond. The victims’ family said Bowen had allegedly been intimidating the neighborhood for more than a year and reported prior incidents of their house and cars being shot at; preliminary reports noted the shooting may have arisen from an ongoing dispute involving Bowen and one of the victims.

Bowen later suffered a health issue while in custody and died of complications while admitted to an out-of-state hospital, ending the criminal case. Did anyone in Pickens know Isaacs, Stewart, or Bowen and have details that could add context to what happened that morning?
