A man accused of shooting a 16-year-old girl to death is reportedly on the lam after he was mistakenly released from a Maryland jail last week. On Wednesday, he was driven to Maryland to answer charges in a stolen car case, NBC 4 D.C. reported. A warrant was issued for Bowman in Washington on Friday when he failed to appear for a scheduled court hearing in the murder case. Jail officials in Maryland said there were no warrants in their system preventing Bowman from being released, the station reported. A court affidavit in the murder case says Bowman told a witness the shooting was an accident, WTOP-TV reported in March.
