In the early morning hours of February 23, 2019, the life of 30-year-old Anastasia Linette Lowery of Effingham, South Carolina, was tragically cut short. The young woman was at Mike's Warehouse Nightclub in Timmonsville when gunfire erupted at approximately 2:21 a.m. Florence County Sheriff's deputies responded to multiple 911 calls reporting the shooting and arrived to a chaotic scene.
Inside the nightclub, they discovered Lowery suffering from fatal gunshot wounds.
The investigation into her death was extensive, involving a collaborative effort between various law enforcement agencies. For nearly a year, investigators diligently worked to piece together the events of that fatal night and identify the person responsible for Lowery's death. Their persistent efforts led them to name a suspect in the case.
Ultimately, the investigation pointed to Travis Leverne Butler as the individual who allegedly shot and killed Anastasia Lowery. With the assistance of the U.S. Marshal Task Force, Butler was located and taken into custody. He was subsequently charged with murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime. The arrest brought a sense of hope for justice to Lowery's grieving family and the Timmonsville community. Information regarding the outcome of the legal proceedings against Travis Leverne Butler, including any trial or conviction, is not publicly available.
