On January 25, 2011, at around 10:49 p.m., Timothy Bowden, age 26, was shot multiple times while walking in the 4700 block of Logan Avenue in San Diego, California. He had been returning to a friend's apartment after visiting a nearby grocery store when he was attacked. The San Diego Police Department (SDPD) responded to reports of gunshots in the area and found Bowden on the ground suffering from severe gunshot wounds.
Paramedics transported him to a trauma center, where he succumbed to his injuries the following morning.
The preliminary investigation did not reveal any apparent motive, and the identity of the shooter or shooters remains unknown. The lack of witnesses or physical evidence has made the case particularly challenging to solve, and no arrests have been made to date. San Diego County Crime Stoppers and the SDPD Homicide Unit have continuously appealed to the public for any information that might lead to the identification of those responsible. The Mayor's Office has even offered a monetary reward for tips that could help bring the perpetrator(s) to justice.
The case remains an unsolved homicide, and authorities continue to urge anyone with information to contact the SDPD Homicide Unit or Crime Stoppers anonymously. Bowden's family, friends, and law enforcement officials continue to hope for new leads that could help bring closure to this tragic incident. The reward and multiple anniversary appeals highlight the persistent effort to solve the case despite the difficulties faced by investigators in obtaining concrete evidence and witness testimonies.
