Shawn Fowler, a 44-year-old resident of Tooele, Utah, tragically lost his life on July 6, 2018, in San Bernardino, California. Fowler was traveling on the Interstate 210 freeway with his wife and other motorcyclists when they encountered mechanical issues with one of the bikes. As Fowler and another rider pulled over to the side of the freeway to address the problem, shots were fired at them. The incident occurred around 4 a.m., and Fowler was pronounced dead at the scene.
His wife, who was with him at the time, was unharmed, while the other rider sustained critical but stable injuries.
The investigation into Fowler's death revealed that he was a member of the West Valley Chapter of the Mongols Motorcycle Club. Despite this affiliation, authorities have not determined whether his membership played a role in the shooting. The San Bernardino Police Department has been actively seeking information from the public to identify the shooter, who is believed to have been traveling in the opposite direction on the freeway when the shots were fired. As of now, no suspects have been identified, and the motive behind the shooting remains unclear.
Fowler's family has been left devastated by his untimely death. His wife, Denean, expressed her profound grief and confusion over the loss of her "soul mate," with whom she had recently celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary. Fowler was a father of four and a grandfather to seven, and his family has been vocal about their desire for justice. They have urged anyone with information about the incident to come forward and help bring the perpetrator to justice.
The case has garnered significant attention, but despite the efforts of law enforcement and the pleas from Fowler's family, the investigation has yet to yield any arrests or significant leads. The San Bernardino Police Department continues to investigate the case, hoping to uncover new evidence that could lead to the identification and apprehension of the individual responsible for Fowler's murder.
