Police Officer Kyle Hicks succumbed to gunshot wounds sustained four days earlier while responding to a domestic disturbance in the 4900 block of Burnham Drive.
He and another officer located the apartment at about 12:30 am and could hear a man and woman arguing inside. A male subject came to the door, and a struggle ensued, during which Officer Hicks was shot. The other officer was able to return fire and killed the subject.
Officer Hicks was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his wounds. His organs were donated.
Officer Hicks had served with the Corpus Christi Police Department for two years. He is survived by his wife and four children.
