BOWLING GREEN, KY. (WTVF) — At 2:56 a.m. Saturday, Bowling Green, Kentucky police responded to a shots fired call at Brookwood Mobile Home Park, 1801 Morgantown Road.
Police were told when they got there that a female was on the way to the hospital with a male who had been shot. At Greenview Hospital, they learned 30-year-old Darrius Wickware died from multiple gunshot wounds.

Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
