1 killed, suspect arrested August 31, 2012 Seattle Dinh Bowman Studies Murder, Kills Shoots Through Car Window  Prosecutors said murder suspect  Dinh Bowman used a fake name, bought a disposable phone and paid cash to cover his tracks after the murder of Yancy Noll.  On Nov. 24, prosecutors played a recorded phone conversation of Dinh Bowman trying to arrange to get the passenger window replaced on BMW Z4 after the shooting. Murder suspect Dinh Bowman claims he killed Yancy Noll in self-defense. Said Noll threw wine bottle. Police found no evidence of that. No witnesses back up road rage claim. Jury shown video from Bowman's computer describing how to shoot through car window. Noll was killed Aug. 31, 2012 when Bowman shot a gun through the closed window of his car at another car. Seattle Tines: His mother, Hong Bowman, says it was closer to 3. Either way, that's before most kids can master a pencil, let alone tap commands onto a keyboard. No matter. Bowman showed an early aptitude that his parents encouraged. His father is a Boeing engineer and his mother a refugee from Vietnam who fled Saigon in 1975. She has home-schooled her son since he was in third grade, after trying both public and private schools. On December 11, the jury did not believe his claim that he was being pursued by a crazy man throwing bottles at him and appeared to be reaching for a gun, and found him guilty of premeditated murder. Sources told KIRO TV that he used a razor to try to commit suicide by slashing his arms just hours after the verdict.

Defense attorney John Henry Browne said he plans to appeal. Prosecutors told the Superior Court jury that Bowman fatally shot Noll because he wanted to know what it was like to kill someone, and had downloaded books and other materials on homicide before the shooting...  if Bowman really was a “student of murder,” as the state alleged, then Bowman didn’t do a good job of putting what he learned into practice since the killing was done in daylight, during rush-hour traffic and while Bowman was driving a conspicuous sports car.

At 13, He's A Small Wonder At Spu -- Des Moines Boy Makes The Grade In Fencing, Too
By Linda Keene
Seattle Times Staff Reporter
Talk about a smarty-pants. Dinh Bowman, who reaches all of 5 feet and is only 13 years old, is taking computer classes at Seattle Pacific University and is pulling down a respectable B average.
In addition, the Des Moines boy is an accomplished fencer and will be competing in the national championships next month.
And - yes, there's more - he has his own home page and bulletin board on the World Wide Web.
All of this might be somewhat annoying if it weren't for the fact that Bowman is also pleasant and funny. His home page opens with a close-up picture of him in a full-throttle primal scream, followed by humorous exaggerations about his life.
