The quiet street on Oxbow Drive in Grovetown turned into a scene of heartbreak Wednesday evening when 36-year-old Myneika Scott was shot outside her home, ending months of fear that those close to her say had been building for a long time. Authorities say the man responsible was her estranged husband, 37-year-old Titus Scott, who later took his own life after a brief police pursuit.
Deputies were called to the 500 block of Oxbow Drive just after 5 p.m. They found Myneika suffering from gunshot wounds outside her residence. She was rushed to a nearby hospital, but doctors could not save her. The loss was immediate and devastating, especially for the three children she shared with Titus.
Investigators say the shooting happened during a confrontation between the couple. Titus then fled the scene in a pickup truck, triggering a search that quickly moved into a nearby area. Deputies spotted the vehicle in Evans not long after and initiated a short pursuit.
That chase ended when the truck came to a stop. Officials say Titus died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound before he could be taken into custody. Just like that, two lives were gone, leaving behind unanswered questions and a grieving family trying to process what happened.
What makes the tragedy even more difficult to accept is the clear pattern of warning signs leading up to that day. Records show Myneika had reached out to law enforcement multiple times in recent months, reporting troubling behavior and threats from her estranged husband.
Back in October 2025, she told deputies that Titus followed her home from their daughter’s softball game and threatened to damage their car with a baseball bat. A month later, she asked for a welfare check after receiving a chilling message: “Let’s hope there’s life after death.” When deputies found him, he reportedly had a gun and an almost empty bottle of liquor.
In the final days before the shooting, the situation appeared to escalate rapidly. Titus called her more than 80 times within three days, sometimes hiding his identity behind blocked numbers. Days before her death, he entered her home while she was away and concealed her laptop. Even then, Myneika chose not to press charges, hoping to maintain some level of peace for the sake of their children.
Neighbors are now left with memories of a woman who was trying to move forward while navigating a difficult separation. The case stands as a painful reminder of how repeated threats and harassment can turn deadly, even when help is sought and options are considered.
Images for the story would typically include the home on Oxbow Drive, law enforcement vehicles at the scene, and family photos showing Myneika with her children, capturing the life that was cut short.
