A 16-year-old was charged with murder Friday, one of four young Bowling Green residents arrested one day after a Bowling Green man was found shot dead in his home.

Three suspects in the Thursday slaying of Edward Lee “Dickie” Whiteside, 64, were arrested around 3 p.m. Friday by Bowling Green police, with a fourth arrested about three hours later.

C.J. Antonio Bunton, 19, 1367 Clay St., B-2, Hummingbird Place Apartments, was among those initially arrested, along with two 16-year-old Bowling Green boys. Bunton is charged only with tampering with physical evidence; one boy is charged with murder, and the other with complicity to murder.

All three were arrested without incident, and police recovered what they think is the murder weapon, according to Officer Barry Pruitt, spokesman for the Bowling Green Police Department.

A 17-year-old girl was arrested shortly after 6 p.m. Friday and charged with complicity to commit murder, according to a subsequent e-mail from Pruitt. He said additional charges may result from the investigation, with other crimes possibly solved in the coming days, though he did not elaborate on what the connections might be.

City officers responded at 1:33 a.m. Thursday to a report of a gunshot being fired. They found Whiteside dead inside a two-story brick house at 1268 Kentucky St., which is divided into several apartments, killed by a shotgun blast to the chest.

Police have been called to that address at least a dozen times in the past three years to deal with assaults, thefts and drug incidents, according to published police reports, though none of those involved Whiteside.

The body of Whiteside, who was a dishwasher at several local restaurants, was sent to the State Medical Examiner’s Office in Louisville for an autopsy.

Bunton is lodged in the Warren County Regional Jail; the juveniles are lodged in the Warren County Juvenile Detention Center.
