Clarence Bluker Rowden III, 58, was shot multiple times and killed outside his home on Panther Creek Road in Christiana, Tennessee, on July 6, 2022. A recent retiree from Nissan after 38 years, he was remembered as a devoted husband, father and grandfather who enjoyed street rods and helping friends with their cars.

Responding deputies and paramedics found Rowden gravely wounded after a 911 call from his wife; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Neighbors identified Jeffery Hayden Burris, 54, who lived a few houses down Panther Creek Road, as remaining at the scene and being detained by officers. Burris was charged with first-degree murder; his case was bound over to the Rutherford County Grand Jury and later resolved by a guilty plea. He received a prison term that will keep him incarcerated until 2041 and is being held at Bledsoe County Correctional Complex in Pikeville, Tennessee.

Did anyone in Christiana know Rowden or see anything on Panther Creek Road around July 6, 2022 that could shed more light on what happened?
