In the quiet town of Conway, South Carolina, a young life was tragically cut short on a Wednesday in late September. Christa M. Lee, a 22-year-old female, died on September 28, 2022, in a violent incident that sent ripples of shock and grief through the community. Her life was taken in a shooting that occurred at a residence on Oak Grove Road, located off Highway 378.
The circumstances of her death were particularly harrowing.
An altercation reportedly took place at the home, culminating in a single gunshot. The bullet, fired from a gun, traveled through a door before striking Christa in the head. The fatal wound ended her life, leaving family and friends to mourn the sudden and senseless loss of a vibrant young woman.
In the wake of the shooting, the Horry County Police Department launched an investigation into the untimely death of Christa Lee. Their efforts quickly led to the identification of a suspect. Asia Batty, a 28-year-old woman with a Conway address, was taken into custody in connection with the fatal shooting.
Authorities allege that Batty had taken an Uber to the home on Oak Grove Road, where she became involved in a dispute with Lee. It was during this confrontation that Batty is accused of firing the shot that killed Christa. Following her arrest, Asia Batty was charged with murder and was subsequently booked into jail.
