Coral Springs Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer Bowen has been found dead, officials said.
7Skyforce hovered over Metayer Bowen’s residence which police had surrounded on Wednesday afternoon.
Coral Springs Police discovered her body while conducting a welfare check at her home located at the 800 block of NW 127th Avenue.
Preliminary investigation determined that the incident was “domestic in nature,” according to officials.
Metayer Bowen’s husband, Stephen Bowen, was taken into police custody.
7News cameras also captured investigators coming in and out of the gated community.
“There are no additional suspects at this time and there are no immediate threats to anyone in the public,” said Coral Springs Police Chief Brad Mock at a press conference.
Those who knew the vice mayor paid tribute to her legacy on Wednesday evening.
“My heart is extremely heavy. My soul is heavy. My heart is broken,” said Coral Springs Commissioner Joshua Simmons.
“She wasn’t just a leader. She was the light in every room that she entered,” said Coral Springs City Manager Catherine Givens. “She was a steady voice in difficult times, a compassionate soul who lifted others up and a friend to so many.”
The vice mayor’s family posted a message on Instagram about Metayer Bowen, writing in part,
“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.”
Metayer Bowen was appointed as Vice Mayor in 2025, after initially being elected in 2020 and re-elected in 2024.
“She cared about students. She cared about seniors. She cared about the environment. She cared about fairness. She cared about equality. She cared about her culture. She cared about people being able to take full advantage of all the rights and everything that is present on this Earth,” said Simmons.
Coral Springs Police said that an investigation is currently ongoing, and urged those with information to call them.
