Florida vice mayor found dead in home after 'domestic violence incident'; husband in police custody (Coral Springs)

A South Florida city leader was found dead in her home Wednesday, and her husband was in police custody, authorities said.

Coral Springs Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer Bowen was found by police officers at around 10 a.m. Wednesday after they began an investigation into her "well-being," the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported.

Police Chief Brad Mock didn't provide any details about the circumstances of Bowen's death, saying it was being investigated as a "domestic violence incident." Bowen’s husband, Stephen Bowen, was in police custody, Mock said.

The chief said there were no other suspects being sought.

Bowen was first elected to the Coral Springs City Commission in 2020 and was re-elected in 2024. She was appointed by the commission last November to serve a second, one-year term as vice mayor, according to her bio on the city’s website.

Before being elected to the commission, Bowen worked as an environmental scientist who formerly served on the Broward County Soil and Water Conservation District, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported.

Bowen's family confirmed her death on her social media accounts.

"Throughout her years in public office, she led with integrity, compassion, and an unwavering sense of purpose," the family’s statement said.

Rough town.

Yeah - Broward County, just south of Parkland (of Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School shooting infamy). Democrat stronghold since the Clinton era.

I have friends who used to live in the area. Their daughter was in a classroom that got shot up at MSDHS.

They technically lived in Margate, but right on the border.

Metayer Bowen’s brother, Donovan Metayer, died by suicide at the age of 26 in December. He had previously survived the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, according to the Miami Herald.

Time was the only bad parts of Coral Springs were Riverside and Woodside between Sample and Wiles.

Coral Springs was “the city in the country and there was nothing much west of Coral Springs Dr.

I find it so odd that 13% of the population represents a massive number of “elected officials” in the US

13% is the total, only half of that percent are extremist liberal female democrat-social-communist racists.

Looks Haitian. Probably could not handle the voodoo husband and he decided to eat her. Happens all the time.

Coral Springs’ Haitia population is 8,256 of 134,394 total, so less than 10%.

In 2000, it 2.1% of a 117,549 total pop.

All non white categories have grown as the city has grown.

At 134,394 it is twice as large as the largest city in Maine (and many other states). It is slightly larger than Portland, Maine so its density is twice as much 5,878 per sq mi.

Crime
Coral Springs enjoys a low crime rate, and was listed as 24th on the list of Florida’s Safest Cities of 2020, by the independent review site SafeWise.

Elevation is just 10 ft (3.0 m) above sea level. A good storm could take out the whole city.
