U.S Marshals seek Charles Bowens, wanted for robbery that nearly turned fatal

MILWAUKEE -- U.S. Marshals are looking for 32-year-old Charles Bowens.

U.S. Marshals say in April 2014, Bowens arranged a robbery at 76th and Locust that nearly turned fatal.

Law enforcement says Bowens made plans for his accomplice, Deshun Smith, to buy two gaming systems from the victim. The three men got into a car together, and after negotiating a price, Smith shot the victim in the back.

Smith was arrested. Bowens has been on the run ever since.

U.S. Marshals say Bowens goes by the nickname 'Ken,' and may be on Milwaukee's north side. He has a history of run-ins with police, and now faces a charge of attempted homicide.

Bowens is about six feet tall and weighs 280 pounds. He's got large tattoos on both shoulders and a tattoo on his right hand of 'Keke.'

Anyone with information on his whereabouts should call U.S. Marshals at 414-297-3707.
