Bowser was a 1986 all-state football selection while attending Tyler\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Robert E. Lee High School. He was convicted of capital murder on May 5 in the fatal shootings of girlfriend Toya Smith and her 17-year-old daughter, Tasmia Allen, in Dallas. Investigators say Bowser then drove to nearby DeSoto and fatally shot his wife, Zina Bowser, and her 28-year-old daughter Neima Williams. Four other children were wounded. Bowser&#8217;s attorneys had argued that he&#8217;s mentally ill and suffered concussions playing football.
