Anthony Tony Bowler, a 30-year-old Hispanic man, was killed on March 22, 2014, in El Paso, Texas, following a confrontation at the home of Alberto Mendiola. Prosecutors said Mendiola believed his estranged wife was involved with Bowler; Mendiola was accused of shooting him. The case went to trial and a jury found Mendiola guilty of manslaughter but not guilty of murder after more than 11 hours of deliberations spread over two days.

The defense said Mendiola’s service in Afghanistan left him with post-traumatic stress disorder that affected his state of mind at the time; prosecutors disputed the severity of those symptoms. At sentencing the jury recommended the maximum manslaughter term of 20 years, with less than 13 minutes of deliberation; Mendiola will be eligible for parole after serving half the sentence. Bowler’s family expressed grief and frustration, with his sister Ana Bowler saying the acquittal on the murder charge denied her brother true justice.

Are there witnesses, family members, or others who knew Tony Bowler and can share details about his life or the events of that day?
