A man who was shot near WKU’s campus Sunday has died from his injuries, according to Bowling Green Police Department Officer Melissa Bailey.
Multiple agencies responded to the shooting scene Sunday, February15, at the 300 block of University Boulevard including WKU Police, Warren County Sheriff’s Office and Bowling Green Police Department.
Officers found Diego Andres Lopez-Urdaneta in his car with a gunshot wound to his head. He was rushed to the hospital for treatment but later died from his injuries.
After reviewing surveillance video of the area, investigators were able to identify the suspect’s vehicle. Detectives found it later that day and interviewed two people inside. Christopher Meza Ramirez was arrested for operating the vehicle at the time of the shooting.
Later, Tennessee Highway Patrol assisted in taking Bryan Aguero Lopez into custody after he was identified as the alleged shooter. At first Lopez was charged with Assault First Degree, but his charges are expected to be amended to Murder now that the victim has died. He awaits extradition to Warren County.
Additionally, Ramirez charges have been amended to Complicity to Commit Murder. He is currently in the Warren County Regional Jail.
