Roderick Bowman was 47 when he was shot and killed in the early morning hours of November 27, 2020, on Old Federal Road in Montgomery, Alabama. Responding officers found him in the 2000 block of that street with a fatal gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene and his death was ruled a homicide.

Police investigators canvassed the area and treated Bowman as the intended target rather than a random victim or robbery casualty. Authorities said an altercation may have occurred before the shooting, but provided few other details. In the days and weeks after the killing no suspects were publicly identified and no arrests were announced.

Whoever has information about Bowman’s last known movements or the people he was with that night is asked to contact the Montgomery Police Department.
