Joshua L. Bowman was a 24-year-old Black man from New Orleans who died on September 25, 2011; case listings describe his death as a homicide and that same date is given for when he was found. His birth date is recorded as July 6, 1987. A funeral service was held on October 3, 2011, at Charbonnet-Labat-Glapion Funeral Home on St. Philip Street, with burial at Mount Olivet Cemetery, and his death notice named parents, siblings, and extended family who survived him.

The basic facts of his death are recorded, but the question of who was responsible remains unanswered in the accessible record.
