A fatal shooting at the Bolden Village Apartments in southwest Atlanta left 36-year-old Junior Bowen dead late on May 28, 2025. Police were called about 11 p.m. to the complex on the 2900 block of Springdale Road and found Bowen with multiple gunshot wounds in a patio area; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators believe he was first shot inside an apartment and then made his way outside before succumbing to his injuries.

Neighbors told police Bowen did not live at the complex, though some had seen him there before. With no immediate motive or suspects, the Atlanta Police Department’s Homicide Unit appealed for help and, together with Crime Stoppers, offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and indictment. Funeral services for Bowen were held on June 14, 2025, at West Hunter Street Baptist Church.

On August 26, 2025, police arrested Kendarius Lamont Harris on charges that include murder plus multiple weapons, drug, and gang-related counts. Does anyone who knew Bowen or who was in the area that night have information that could shed light on what happened?
