Caleb Bowman was 18 and from Bradenton, Florida. He was shot and brought to Manatee Memorial Hospital just after midnight on July 22, 2018, but died shortly after arrival. The shooting happened behind a shopping center on the 2100 block of Cortez Road West, where another 18-year-old, Kemundrey Pittmon, was also found fatally shot.

Investigators linked the shootings to a drug deal gone wrong and identified a suspect, 17-year-old Joe Clerjuste of Bradenton. An arrest warrant was issued and Clerjuste fled the scene; authorities urged the public to help locate him. Clerjuste was later apprehended and charged in the murders of Bowman and Pittmon.

The community held vigils and memorials for the two young men. Does anyone have information about Caleb’s activities or the Cortez Road West area around July 22, 2018?
