David Bouwman, 81, and his wife Vivian, 80, were found shot to death at their home in the Princeton Estates neighborhood of Kentwood. The killings were discovered after a neighbor noticed signs of a break-in; investigators determined the couple had been fatally shot at close range during what was described as a home invasion. Their Cadillac was stolen from the house and later recovered abandoned and burned in an apartment complex parking lot.

Police developed a sketch of a possible suspect showing an African-American man with a lighter complexion, a beard with flecks of gray, a tan hat and a red scarf. The case led to charges against 23-year-old Javonte Higgins; prosecutors presented witness testimony including family members who said Vivian’s wedding ring was missing. A jury found Higgins guilty on all counts and he was sentenced to life without parole.

Does anyone in the Kentwood area remember unusual activity around Princeton Estates in early January 2013 or have information about the stolen Cadillac?
