Delesha C. Bowden, 27, was shot in the head in her home on Summerbrooke Drive in Chesterfield, Virginia, in the early morning hours of September 10, 2014. She was taken to VCU Medical Center and later died of her injuries. Delesha worked at Union First Market Bank and was described by family as a daughter, sister and aunt.

Her husband, 42-year-old Corey Bowden, had reportedly been distressed about their marital problems in the days before the shooting and had spoken with his son and his pastor about those issues. After the shooting he turned himself in to Chesterfield police and called his son, expressing disbelief at what had happened. Initial charges of malicious wounding and use of a firearm were upgraded to first-degree murder following Delesha’s death.

Corey Bowden was tried and convicted of first-degree murder and the related firearm offense and received a life sentence plus three years. The case highlights a domestic dispute that escalated to fatal violence. If anyone knew Delesha or has information about the events leading up to that night, please share what you can.
