Just after 8 p.m. on Friday, December 27, 2019, police responded to reports of a disturbance and then shots fired at an apartment on Torridge Avenue in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Officers found 19-year-old Holden Heath inside Apartment 123 with a gunshot wound to the chest. He was taken to a local hospital and died from his injuries. Holden’s girlfriend and child were in the apartment during the incident; investigators say he identified his shooter by the name Nate before he died.

Detectives concluded the shooting occurred during a robbery. According to the investigation, the suspect had learned via social media that there might be money or marijuana at the apartment, went there armed, forced entry after knocking, and a physical confrontation followed. Police located 20-year-old Nathanael Mieses-Nevarez that night at his grandmother’s apartment on Jackson Street and arrested him. Charges included murder, first-degree burglary, first-degree robbery, two counts of first-degree wanton endangerment, tampering with physical evidence, and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon.

Does anyone have information about Holden’s life in Bowling Green or about contacts who might shed light on how the suspect and victim knew each other?
