Christian D’Artagnan Johnson was 19 when he was found dead on Lockhart Highway in Union, South Carolina, on October 28, 2018. A 2017 Union High School graduate and a student at Limestone College, he was living in Spartanburg at the time though his family still lived in Union. The cause of death was gunshot wounds.

Investigators focused on another 19-year-old, Chandler Stone Gatliff, who said he shot Johnson in self-defense during an attempted robbery at his home; Gatliff’s father gave a similar account. A firearm allegedly used in the shooting was recovered in the back of a truck in the home driveway. Despite the self-defense claim, the Union County Sheriff’s Office charged Gatliff with murder and later arrested a second person; authorities did not immediately release details about that individual’s role or charges.

Johnson is remembered by his community for an engaging personality. Does anyone have information about what happened that night or knew Christian personally?
