BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WKRN) — A death investigation is underway following a shooting involving a man who “mistakenly” entered someone else’s Bowling Green apartment overnight, according to authorities.
The Bowling Green Police Department said it responded to a burglary in progress in the 1300 block of Scottsville Road just before 1 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 23.

According to officials, investigators determined the individual — identified as 23-year-old Matthew Maggart — also lived at the apartment complex.
“Evidence suggests he was impaired and mistakenly entered the wrong apartment,” police posted on Facebook.
