Horry County police seeking tips in wake of deadly shooting
HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) — Horry County police are asking for the public’s help as authorities continue to investigate circumstances behind a fatal shooting.
Katelyn Bennett, 33, was found dead in her car last Wednesday near the intersection of Highway 905 and Gore Road outside of Conway. Officials ruled her death a homicide and believe she was shot while in the driver’s seat of a vehicle.
News13 reported last week that Bennett’s father, David, was shot and killed in November 2016.
At the time of her father’s death, Katelyn Bennett told News13 she was still in shock over losing her father.
“I can’t believe I’m here right now doing this, It hits me, it comes and goes. I don’t know how I’m going to do this now. “I just want my daddy back. That’s what I want. My sister came from New Hampshire. She hasn’t seen him in six years, and she saw him for the first time, cold.”
Anyone with information about Katelyn Bennett is asked to call the #HCPD tipline at (843) 915-8477.
