GRAY, Ga. — A Jones County man is now charged with his wife’s murder last month. According to a news release, it was initially called in as a suicide on Holloman Road.
When deputies got to the home, they found Shyanne Schroeder dead with a gunshot wound to the head.
The woman’s husband, Troy Scarborough, was arrested and charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Investigators say they felt something wasn’t right about her death, so investigators continued reviewing evidence as Scarborough was in custody.
Ultimately, they found Schroeder’s manner of death wasn’t a suicide, but was a homicide.
Scarborough is now charged with felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during a commission of a crime.
Sheriff Butch Reece thanked deputies for their work and the FBI for their assistance in the investigation. Scarborough is being held without bond.
