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.

Way too little info to jump to any conclusions. Was the lady in one piece? Was gun residue found on his hands? Does he own a hammer, chain saw, ball bat, souvenir gloves from Mohamed Ali? Are there tire tracks on the body? Damn I need more info to jump to a conclusion.

Reasonably sure if she was a Republican, it would have been in the first, or certainly the second sentence.

If you’re right, it might be justifiable homicide. My previous post I forgot. Hay balers, grain combines, lawn mower blades, small gloves and knives. Dang, so little info to go on. It’s a tough case.

Former President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris tapped Nancy to serve as Florida’s Caribbean Vote Director during the 2024 presidential election.

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

My best friend was murdered by her husband 30 yrs ago.

The pain has not receded one iota for me or her parents. I feel terribly for this poor victim’s family and friends.

You want to hear a good one? White Supremacy is the biggest threat to black women.

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

When the universe is your bulls-eye, going off only half-cocked is always close enough.

It has to be white supremacy. That is 100% the cause.

“Nancy was my friend and a friend to everyone who has ever believed that democracy was worth fighting for.”

The pictures in the article make it clear that was VERY GOOD at tricking people.
