Joshua Ryan Bowland, 31, was killed late on August 28, 2019, after an argument inside a home at 156 Camp Ground Road in Independence Township near Avella, Pennsylvania. The house was associated with his mother, Josephine Bowland, and her significant other, Arnold Lee Webster. Authorities say the confrontation began after Bowland returned a car he had borrowed from his mother and moved from outside into the house, where shoving followed attempts to calm things down.

Investigators reported that Webster grabbed a rifle, chambered a round, and warned Bowland to leave; police allege Bowland did not threaten or advance on Webster when Webster shot him once in the chest. Troopers found Bowland dead inside the home and Webster on the front porch. A sawed-off shotgun and other firearms were recovered and became central to the investigation because Webster had a prior felony that prohibited gun possession. The Washington County coroner ruled the death a homicide.

The legal process resulted in charges against Webster, and the case concluded with a plea and sentencing. Does anyone have information about Joshua, his movements that day, or the household at 156 Camp Ground Road?
