Teen Killed at Party Helps 4 with Organ Donations


MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Tenn. -- A Clarksville woman who lost her life in a shooting was able to give the gift of life to four others.

Arianna Spencer, 19, was an organ donor.

Montgomery County sheriff's deputies say Spencer was at a party in Palmyra, Tenn. last weekend when she was shot in the back of the head.

Deputies say she and 21-year-old Jaquest Tucker were shot. Tucker is recovering. No arrests have been made at this time.

Spencer's family claims she was an innocent bystander helping a friend when a bullet hit the back of her head.

Spencer wanted to be in the Armed Services.

Her heart kidneys and pancreas have been donated to four patients.

"Whoever receives her heart, I want to talk to that person because that's the best thing right there … is her heart," Anthony Spencer said, Arianna's father.

The family has set up a GoFundMe account to help with funeral expenses.

Deputies are still looking for the gunman. At this time no arrest has been made.
