Rebecca Wages, 40, of Panama City, Florida, was found shot to death on April 23, 2020, inside a trailer at 1110 Sherman Ave., Cedar Grove. The Bay County Sheriff’s Office reported the shooting occurred in the early hours after Wages confronted 38-year-old Jason Bowen about a missing power cord. Wages was carrying a stun gun/flashlight and reportedly used it on a man at the door before entering Bowen’s trailer. Bowen allegedly shot Wages with a 9mm Smith and Wesson handgun; that gun was later found under her right thigh.

Bowen was arrested at the scene and charged with manslaughter and tampering with evidence, along with trafficking in methamphetamine, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Investigators found a power cord similar to the one Wages said was stolen and methamphetamine in Bowen’s residence. Bowen’s statements to police changed multiple times, and he allegedly admitted shooting Wages, wiping his fingerprints from the gun, and placing it near her body.

Does anyone have information about Wages, Bowen, or the events around 1110 Sherman Ave. that could help clarify what happened that night?
