Lysandra Sandy C. Bowman Bowers, 40, of Frederica, Delaware, was found dead from apparent gunshot wounds on February 22, 2020, in a parking lot off Cooper Avenue near Bowers Beach. Her husband, Kenneth J. Bowers, 55, was also found dead at the scene; investigators recovered a handgun and reported there was no ongoing threat to the public.

Initial accounts shifted toward a suspected murder‑suicide, with Kenneth treated as the suspected shooter and no arrests or criminal charges linked to Sandy’s death because he also died at the scene. Later reports said police had earlier attempted to keep firearms away from Kenneth, and one account stated the gun used had been confiscated about five months before the shooting. Sandy was remembered as Lysandra Sandy C. Bowman Bowers, originally from the Gordonville area, who worked on a crab boat, loved fishing, followed Philadelphia sports and NASCAR, and was close to her family.
