Katelyn Elizabeth Bennett was 33 when she was found dead in her vehicle on April 3, 2024, after the car went into a ditch at the intersection of Gore Road and Highway 905 in Conway, South Carolina. Investigators determined she had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and her death was ruled a homicide.

Katelyn was a mother and a Miller Motte College cosmetology graduate. Friends and family remembered her as kind-hearted, generous, and free-spirited. Her family had already endured gun violence before: her father, David Bennett, was also a victim of gun violence in 2016.

By November 2024 authorities announced an arrest; 29-year-old Chriwanta Bryant was charged with murder after prosecutors said cell phone location and other digital data tied him to the crime. Anyone with information about Katelyn or her movements that day is asked to come forward.
