Robert Shawn Fowler, 48, was shot and killed on January 26, 2021, in a Panama City Beach home on Delmar Drive while renovating the property with a friend, Robert Keith Gilmore. Fowler, born January 6, 1973, in Atlanta, was a Coosa High School graduate, a former football player, and a manager at Office Depot and Love’s Travel Stops. He and his family also owned the Bargain Depot in Calhoun. An avid scuba diver and instructor, he was described as devoted to his family and community.

Fowler was found dead inside; Gilmore was found unresponsive on the porch with a gunshot wound and his wallet missing. Investigators recovered DNA evidence, the victims’ belongings, and the firearm, and say Hicks confessed during an interview. Hicks was charged with two counts of second-degree murder, armed robbery, and armed burglary, and a jury later found him guilty on those charges.

If anyone knew Robert Fowler or was in the Panama City Beach area on January 26, 2021, did you see anything that could help complete the timeline of that night?
