According to police, deputies responded Thursday afternoon to a report of CPR in progress at a residence in Ooltewah, about 20 miles outside of Chattanooga. First responders located a female victim and attempted life-saving measures, but were unable to revive her, cops said. Due to the condition of the victim and the residence, detectives from the HCSO's Criminal Investigative Services were then called to scene.

Lee was arrested and taken into custody in Hamilton County, Tennessee, after deputies were called to a medical emergency where first responders were giving a woman CPR. The medics were unable to save her. The name of the woman, who was Lee's girlfriend, has not been released and local police said her death was being treated as a homicide. Lee was also charged with tampering with evidence.
