During the Court Process it was revealed that she did,in fact,walk into his house on Allen Street in Wabash Indiana and quickly shot him in the face with a .380 Caliber Handgun that she had purchased just 8 days prior. She immediately fled the scene and was later captured by local Police at her resident on Sunset Drive where she was attempting to harm and or kill herself. She was later tried for Attempted murder and was found Guilty and Sentenced to 25 Years in Indiana Department of Corrections with 5 years suspended on Probatio,Bringing her likely Release Date in around 13 years time. Wabash County Prosecutor William C. Hartley Jr. represented the State of Indiana and the Defendant was represented by Attorney Mark Small of Indianapolis. [2]
After the Conviction of Bowman Keith filed suit against Bowman and Dunham’s Athleisure Corp.,alleging that the store was negligent in the sale. In September 2018,Dunham’s filed a request for summary judgment against Shepherd and a Wabash County Superior Court judge denied Dunham’s request. That decision was reversed Wednesday by the Indiana Court of Appeals. The court said Dunham’s is immune for liability and the court erred when it denied summary judgment for the store. There are still questions whether the sale to Bowman was lawful.
However,the appellate court referred to previous state rulings in which a shooting victim cannot rely on the harm caused by the misuse of a firearm,even if sold unlawfully,in order to sue the seller.
In an earlier filing by Bowman’s attorney,Emily Guenin-Hodson,wrote,“This is not a case about the 2nd Amendment. It is not a case involving the creation of new gun laws. This is a case about holding a gun dealer responsible for following federal and state regulations imposed on the commercial sale of arms.”
In another filing,Dunham’s attorney,Robert Ahlgrim,wrote,“Dunham’s employee did not have actual of knowledge that Bowman intended to commit a crime. The undisputed facts reveal that Bowman told the Dunham’s employee she wanted the firearm for her personal protection.
According to Court Documents in the fall of 2016,Keith Shepherd and his girlfriend,Christina Bowman,went to a Dunham’s sports store in Wabash. She asked him to buy her a gun. He refused,and the couple argued.
Shepherd told the clerk at the gun counter:“Whatever you do,don’t ever sell that little girl a gun. She’s dangerous. She would shoot me.”
Shepherd didn’t leave Bowman’s name with the clerk.
On Dec. 15,Bowman went back to Dunham’s and bought a gun. She was cleared in a background check,although Shepherd would later claim the paperwork wasn’t completed properly.
This was finalized and closed in May 2019 but Keith has been quoted as saying he Plans to continue to recover damages caused by Bowman and the Negligence of Dunhams. [3]
