Two cars were found nearby, one was burnt out.
Police have since begun a large scale manhunt for two men, one in light clothing and the other in dark clothing.
Today, they launched an appeal to the public to help build a timeline of events leading to Bowden’s murder.
Detectives are seeking any dashcam or CCTV vision from Monday, October 5, to Monday, October 12, that was filmed along Cox Road or Yawalpah Road at Pimpama.
At a press conference in Coomera today Detective Senior Sergeant Mark Procter said it was about ensuring investigators “captured enough.”
“Historically, when we ask for footage, you can invariably ask for too little so we’re better asking for too much than too little,” he said.
“When we ask for footage it’s purely about making sure we capture enough. We’d hate to find something we miss by a day or something. Most dashcam last for about a week, so we’re asking for a week.
“We’re looking for anyone in the area who may be able to help us.”
Shane Bowden was a member of both the Finks and the Mongols outlaw bikie gangs, with police pursuing a line of inquiry that it was one of the two gangs who were responsible for his murder.
An Incident Command Centre has since been set up with teams of detectives from the Gold Coast Criminal Investigation Branch with assistance from Task-force Maxima and the Homicide Investigation Unit.
Detective Superintendent Brendan Smith said police are keen for any dashcam vision or any information from the public that will help us to solve this crime.
