   Shooting victim in city recalled as quiet, giving

   She was a daughter of noted Richmond jazz figure Bill Tucker. She was a “hang girl” at a Philip Morris tobacco plant; a worker in The Times-Dispatch’s old downtown printing plant; a quiet, middle-class girl who grew up to become a mother and grandmother.[...]She fell to the ground not far from a vacant, two-story frame house known to attract drinkers and drug users.[...]Richmond police aren’t releasing an official motive. Law-enforcement sources indicated that men in a car taunted Bowens and another person on the street and when Bowens responded, one of them shot her.
