A teenager was killed on Lockhart Highway in a Sunday night shooting, according to Union County authorities.

Union County Coroner William Holcombe confirmed Monday the death of Christian Dartagnan Johnson, 19, of Lockhart Highway in Union.

Union County Sheriff David Taylor said deputies responded Sunday night near 3407 Lockhart Highway after a reported shooting. Deputies found Johnson lying face down in the road and Taylor said attempts by emergency responders to revive him were unsuccessful.

Taylor said deputies on scene "spoke briefly," with Chandler Stone Gatliff, 19, of Lockhart Highway. In a statement, Taylor said Gatliff, "admitted that he had shot Christian Johnson."

A Union County Sheriff's report indicated that Chandler Gatliff's father, Steve Gatliff, indicated to deputies on the scene that Johnson had been shot "after Johnson attempted to rob (Chandler Gatliff)," according to the report.

Taylor said Gatliff was then taken into custody and indicated his office would seek murder charges against Gatliff.

The case remains under investigation by the Union County Sheriff's office, Union Public Safety and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, according to Taylor.
