Justin T. Bowman, 25, was fatally shot on April 24, 2016, in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood. At about 6:15 p.m. he was walking with a group near the 3900 block of West Diversey Avenue, roughly half a mile from his home, when 24-year-old Alfredo Ramos exited a vehicle and opened fire, striking Bowman in the chest. Bowman was taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center and died there at 7:07 p.m.

Bowman was a father and a graduate of Avondale, Logandale, and Schurz schools; friends and family remembered him as funny, outspoken, adventurous, athletic, talented, artistic, loving, and loyal. Alfredo Ramos was arrested and charged with first-degree murder; a judge ordered him held without bond on December 9, 2016, with a next court date set for December 28, 2016. Bowman’s death came during a year of sharply increased gun violence in Chicago.
