BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Authorities in Warren County are investigating a deadly shooting that claimed the life of a 27-year-old man on Saturday afternoon.
According to Warren County Sheriff Brett Hightower, deputies responded shortly after 12 p.m. to reports of gunfire in the 200 block of East Heights Avenue. When they arrived, they found a man suffering from a gunshot wound. Despite the efforts of first responders, the victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
The man has been identified as Tyreque Rasean Morrison, 27, of Bowling Green.
Sheriff Hightower said dispatchers received multiple 911 calls from neighbors reporting the sound of several gunshots and vehicles fleeing the area. Witnesses told investigators they saw at least three cars drive away immediately after the shooting.
In response, sheriff’s deputies, detectives, crime scene processors, and the department’s drone unit were deployed to canvas the area and collect evidence. Investigators spent several hours on scene interviewing witnesses and searching for leads.
