In the early hours of March 17, 2024, police in Garland responded to a shooting at a residence in the 4900 block of Captains Place. Officers found 20-year-old Dallas resident Drevon Bowman with a gunshot wound; he was taken to a nearby hospital and died of his injuries. Investigators say a disturbance during a party at the house led to the fatal shooting.

Authorities identified 19-year-old Mesquite resident Kadarrion Kanard Scott as the primary suspect and issued an arrest warrant for him. A reward of up to $5,000 was offered for information leading to Scott’s apprehension; U.S. Marshals assisted in his arrest on April 3, 2024, and he was charged with murder and held at the Garland Detention Center on a $1 million bond. Friends and family lit candles and mourned Bowman’s death.

If anyone attended that March 17 gathering or has information about what happened, please share what is known with investigators.
