On July 19, 2025, at 06:46 am, our department received a 911 call from an apartment located on the 46000 block of Boardman.  A male called 911 requesting help, then immediately hung up the phone.  Officers were then dispatched to the apartment to check the welfare of the occupants in the apartment.  Upon arrival, officers were met at the door by Terrance Lamar Bowie, a 29-year-old male from Casco, Michigan.  Bowie made statements to officers indicating that there was a dead body located inside of the apartment.  Officers then located a deceased 27-year-old female in a bedroom.  Evidence gathered from the scene indicates that this was a homicide, and the suspect, Terrance Lamar Bowie, was placed under arrest.  This was not a random act of violence, as the victim and Bowie were both known to each other.

Bowie was arraigned on July 22, 2025, in 41-A-District Court on the following charges:

• Murder – Second Degree
• Scene Tampering (evidence)

Bond was set at $2,000,000 cash/surety (no 10%) by Judge Stephen Sierawski.
