Rowena Irani was a 22-year-old Wichita State University student and psychology major who was killed after an encounter at her family home in northeast Wichita. A native of Pakistan who became a U.S. citizen, she worked with children at the Wichita Children’s Home and served as a student ambassador; those who knew her described her as vibrant, kind, and hopeful about graduate school.

On October 3, 2016, after ending a two-month relationship with 27-year-old Dane Thomas Owens, Rowena was shot once in the head inside her home. Owens had driven to the neighborhood, entered through an unlocked door carrying a loaded .45-caliber handgun, and left the scene with Rowena’s cell phone. She was found later that day by her mother and taken to a hospital, where she died on October 4, 2016.

Owens was identified by the family, located and arrested. He told investigators the shooting was accidental; he later confessed to being at the house and shooting Rowena, and said he disposed of the gun and phone in ponds. Prosecutors argued the evidence showed a premeditated act by a jilted ex-boyfriend. Does anyone have memories of Rowena or information about that night that could add to the record?
