On Saturday afternoon, November 25, 2023, 31-year-old Xzavier Bowdery was found inside his Fairburn Road home in Atlanta with multiple gunshot wounds to his torso. Emergency medical services took him to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Bowdery was a Black male and a resident of the city; his mother, Alisa Harris, described him as easygoing and kind-hearted and said she was angry that someone would do this to him.

The Atlanta Police Department opened a homicide investigation. As of early 2026 the case remains under investigation with no public announcement of persons of interest, suspects, or arrests, and authorities have not disclosed the circumstances that led to the fatal shooting.

If anyone has information about Bowdery, his movements that day, or who might have been at the Fairburn Road residence, please share what is known with investigators.
