Arrest Made in Horry County Deadly Shooting Case
Horry County, S.C. is once again in the news as authorities have made a significant breakthrough in a tragic incident that shook the local community this past August. On Wednesday, a 20-year-old man named Ramondez Myers was arrested in connection with a deadly shooting that left a 58-year-old woman, Diana Osborne, with a tragic and untimely death.
Details Surrounding the Incident
The incident in question occurred on Star Bluff Road, a quiet neighborhood where residents would never expect such violence to erupt. Ms. Osborne, who lived in Longs, lost her life in this unfortunate event, sending shockwaves through the community. Local law enforcement has been diligently working to uncover the facts surrounding the case, which eventually led them to Mr. Myers.
After several months of investigation, including witness interviews and evidence collection, Myers was charged with involuntary manslaughter and felon in possession of a firearm. He was booked into the J. Reuben Long Detention Center early on Wednesday morning, where he currently remains without bond. This leads many to wonder what kind of factors led to such a devastating outcome.
A Troubling Past
Further complicating the narrative, it’s important to note that Ramondez Myers isn’t a stranger to legal troubles. Back in September 2017, he was also arrested in connection with an armed robbery in Myrtle Beach. This prior incident raises significant concerns among community members about the safety of their neighborhoods and the effectiveness of measures taken to rehabilitate individuals like Myers.

“We just didn’t expect this to happen here. It’s a quiet area,” explained one resident who asked to remain anonymous. “Diana was a sweet lady who always looked out for others. It’s hard to believe she’s gone.” The impact of this tragedy is felt far and wide, as friends and family come together to remember Ms. Osborne and seek comfort in each other during this difficult time.
The Investigation Continues
As the investigation moves forward, the authorities are committed to ensuring that justice is served for Diana Osborne and her family. They will be gathering more information and evidence as they prepare the case for future court proceedings.
The Horry County community is encouraged to remain vigilant and report any further information that may assist in this case or other incidents.
