Officers are also investigating a report of a white Vauxhall Astra car which we previously reported was found on fire at Gadie Street at around 6.10am on Friday, April 14.
The fire is being treated as wilful and while enquiries into the blaze are ongoing, police are keeping an open mind and considering a possible link between the two incidents.
Police are now appealing for any witnesses, or anyone who may have CCTV or dashcam footage, to come forward.
Detective Chief Inspector Lynsey Watters said: "Our thoughts are with Mr Bowers’s family and we are providing them with support at this very difficult time.
"Our investigation into his murder and the attempted murder of the second man is ongoing and I would urge anyone who can help to get in touch as soon as you can.
"We would be keen to speak to anyone who may have seen or heard any activity in the area or who may have dashcam or private CCTV footage.
"We would also be keen to speak to anyone who may have seen the white Vauxhall Astra or may have information about its movements before it was found on fire.
"A police presence will continue in the area over the coming days as our investigation progresses and I would urge anyone with concerns or information to speak to any officer."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 0384 of Friday, April 14.
