In the summer of 2020, on the first day of July, tragedy struck in Bowling Green, Kentucky, claiming the life of 24-year-old Mark Anthony Dice Jr., a Black / African American male. The evening turned fatal at the Mobile Terrace Mobile Home Park on Nashville Road, where Dice Jr. was discovered with a gunshot wound to his chest. Another young man, 20-year-old Latravion Briggs, was also found deceased at the scene, having sustained a gunshot wound to the head.
Both men were located outside a residence within the park. Dice was transported to The Medical Center but was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Born in Bowling Green on June 19, 1996, Mark Dice Jr. was a graduate of Warren East High School and had pursued further education at Southcentral Kentucky Community and Technical College. He was known for his vibrant personality and was a beloved son, father, and friend. He was the owner of Twice the Dice Truck Repair and a member of Trinity Full Gospel Baptist Church, where he had once played the drums. His life, full of promise, was cut short, leaving behind his children and a large, grieving family.
The investigation into the double homicide led Bowling Green Police to two suspects. Cheston Wynn, 33 years old at the time, was arrested and charged with possession of a handgun by a convicted felon and being a first-degree persistent felony offender. Another individual, 23-year-old Lorenzo Graham, was charged with tampering with physical evidence. Wynn's case was later sent to a grand jury after he waived his preliminary hearing.
