Florida Democrat prepping run for Congress found dead in her home as police arrest husband
A Florida Democrat was found dead in her home on Wednesday as police have arrested her husband in connection to her tragic death.
Nancy Metayer Bowen, the vice mayor of Coral Springs, was found dead in her home at around 10am on Wednesday morning after conducting a wellness check.
Bowen’s husband, Stephen Bowen, was arrested not long after. It remains unclear where he is being held or what charges he faces, the Miami Herald reported.
Police Chief Brad Mock said that Bowen’s death was being treated as an incident of domestic violence, and no other suspects or threats are suspected.
The couple had celebrated their three-year wedding anniversary in November last year.
Bowen was elected as vice mayor in 2020 and then re-elected in 2024, marking a historic moment as the first Black and Haitian American woman to serve on the city’s commission.
She also served as the Vice Chair of Haitian Outreach for the Florida Democratic Party, SWR reported.
According to a post on X from Representative Jared Moskowitz, Bowen was gearing up to run for Congress.
