Kane Jacob Bowen, 30, of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, was shot dead inside Burke Street Pub in the early hours of Thursday, January 19, 2023. He sustained a fatal gunshot wound to his left shoulder and was pronounced dead at the scene after police responded to reports of a shooting there.

Authorities arrested William Drake in connection with the incident and charged him with murder. Investigators say Drake fired shots into the pub, killing Bowen and wounding another person, and that he did not know either victim personally — Drake was reportedly aiming at a different customer when he opened fire.

Kane was born November 19, 1992, in Forsyth County to Kristi Jo Bowen and the late Keith Nolan Bowen. Friends remembered him as a unique person and the community’s reaction reflected deep grief over his death.
