From Fox News: 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.
The report notes that Bowen was first elected to the city council of Coral Springs in 2020, and was re-elected in 2024. She became vice-mayor last November.
Bowen’s family posted a statement on her Facebook page announcing her death:
On behalf of our entire family, we are deeply saddened to share the passing of my beloved sister Nancy Metayer-Bowen. She was not only a cherished member of our family but also a dedicated public servant who committed her life to improving the lives of others.
Throughout her years in public office, she led with integrity, compassion, and an unwavering sense of purpose. She believed in bringing people together, listening to those she served, and working tirelessly to create positive change in her community. To us, she was a source of strength, wisdom, and love—someone who always put others before herself.
While many knew her as a leader and advocate, we knew her as a sister, a daughter, and a friend whose warmth and laughter filled every room. Her legacy will live on not only in the policies she helped shape but in the countless lives she touched.
We are grateful for the outpouring of support and kindness during this difficult time. As we mourn her loss, we also celebrate her remarkable life and the lasting impact she leaves behind.
We ask for privacy as our family grieves, and we thank everyone for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.
