The Columbus Dispatch reports that a man who identified himself as Scott’s boyfriend says Scott was standing at a kitchen table preparing macaroni and cheese when shots rang out.

‘She was kind. She was sweet, caring, loving, passionate. She loved making people smile,’ Jared White later told CBS affiliate WBNS News. 

‘I was holding her and she was trying to say something and I don’t know what she was saying but she gasps and I was telling her to fight and stay strong,’ he added.

White also said that he was planning to propose to Scott and revealed that she had been battling the degenerative nervous system disease multiple sclerosis since she was a teenager.

‘She was battling MS since she was 17-years-old but you would never know by the way she carried herself.’

Five people were inside the home on Hiddenspring Drive when the incident occurred.

‘I went straight to the floor. We all did,’ a man who identified himself as Scott’s uncle said.

No one else was injured. Scott did not live in the home.

A Columbus police spokesman says multiple shots were fired at the home on the city’s northeast side.

‘It’s just as bad for the family on any day. The only thing I would think is every Thanksgiving they’ll probably think about this,’ said Sgt. Stan Latta of the Columbus police homicide unit, according to the Dispatch.

White said he has no clue as to who a potential shooting suspect would be, adding he hopes the authorities make an arrest soon.’

‘I just want justice for her… She didn’t deserve this,’ said White.

No suspects or motive for the shooting has been released.
