LUBBOCK, Texas — More details were revealed after Daniel King, 28, was arrested for failure to stop and render aid resulting in death after hitting and killing Shawn Bowen, 51, in South Lubbock on Friday, March 20.
According to an affidavit obtained by EverythingLubbock.com on Monday, King explained to officers that Bowen had mistakenly sent him money through a financial service app. King explained he went to his residence on the evening of March 19, 2026, to talk to him about the money. When King arrived at Bowen’s residence, he honked the horn, but received no response, so he left and returned twice.

Court documents stated that the third time King came back to Bowen’s residence, he witnessed Bowen step out in front of his vehicle, pointing a black pistol at him. Documents say King feared for his life, and reversed his vehicle southbound through the driveway towards 98th Street. King explained to officers that Bowen ran after him and began shooting the pistol at King. When he heard his vehicle being struck by what he believed to be gunfire, he ducked his head behind the steering wheel for cover, causing him to run over Bowen.

King told officers that when he stepped out of his vehicle, he witnessed Bowen get up, move toward the grass and then fall. King picked up the weapon and recognized it to be a BB gun. He then yelled at Bowen, got back into his vehicle and fled the scene. Court documents say that King tried to call Bowen’s cellphone to see if he was okay, then returned later and took photographs of Bowen and “tapped” the back of Bowen’s head with his shoe to “see if he was faking it.”
