Christopher Scott Bowman, 39, was shot and killed on June 6, 2017, during a confrontation at his ex-wife’s home on Jacksonville’s Westside. The altercation began after Bowman accused a man present at the house of having a relationship with the ex-wife. Bowman tried to retrieve his own firearm but was ultimately killed.

The man who fired said he acted in self-defense. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office investigated, the shooter cooperated, placed the gun on his pickup truck and called 911, and the State Attorney’s Office reviewed the case and concluded the shooting was justified; no charges were filed. Investigators noted Bowman had a history of domestic violence and that police had been called to the home previously, although it was unclear whether Bowman was directly involved in earlier incidents. The ex-wife said she had invited the man over, they had been drinking, she had told him about alleged abuse by Bowman, and she denied any romantic relationship or a plot to kill Bowman.

Does anyone have information about the events at that house on June 6, 2017, or about Bowman’s prior contacts with police that could shed more light on what happened?
