Kyan Michael Bowie, 22, was fatally shot on the evening of October 15, 2022, in Augusta, Georgia. The shooting happened at an apartment complex on B Street while Bowie was attending a friend’s birthday party with his mother; he was sitting in his mother’s car when gunfire erupted. Bowie was taken to a local hospital in a private vehicle and pronounced dead.

Born June 14, 2000, in Frederick, Maryland, Bowie attended Cross Creek High School in Augusta. He was described by those who knew him as generous, hardworking, and keen to help his mother; he worked in the home improvement industry and had hoped to become a CDL driver. Investigators believe Bowie was not the intended target but an innocent bystander caught in crossfire between rival gangs.

Multiple people were arrested in the months after the shooting and warrants were issued for others as the probe continued. If anyone remembers the party at the B Street complex that night or saw activity in the area, please come forward with tips.
