Two bodies were recovered from a home along Myrtle Greens Drive in the Conway area in what is being investigated as a case of murder-suicide.

Horry County police responded to a report of a disturbance at the Myrtle Greens Condominiums at about 3 a.m. Tuesday, May 27.

Officers conducted a search of the residence, and found the bodies of Alexis De Asia Johnson, 30, and Dawanna Denise Jones, whose age was redacted from the police incident report.

Johnson was shot by Jones, her roommate, who then shot herself, according to Horry County Chief Deputy Coroner Tamara Willard. Both died at the scene.

The investigation continues, the police report said.
