In Loving Memory of Lexus Antrom East Columbus Mourns a Beautiful Life Taken Too Soon
The early morning hours of Thursday, February 12, 2026, brought unimaginable heartbreak to the community of Columbus as a double shooting claimed the life of 28-year-old Lexus Antrom.
According to authorities, the tragic incident occurred around 4:00 a.m. in the 4500 block of Gardiner Drive, off Hunt Avenue. Buddy Bryan confirmed that Lexus Antrom was pronounced deceased at the scene at approximately 4:50 a.m., leaving family, friends, and neighbors in shock and deep sorrow.
Today, we remember Lexus not for the tragedy that took her from us, but for the life she lived and the love she shared.
At 28 years old, Lexus was in the prime of her life — filled with dreams, goals, and a future that held so much promise. She was someone’s daughter, someone’s sister, someone’s friend — a woman whose presence meant more than words can ever fully express. Her smile had the power to brighten a room. Her laughter was contagious. Her spirit carried warmth, kindness, and strength.
To those who knew her personally, Lexus was more than a name. She was dependable. She was compassionate. She was vibrant. Whether offering encouragement during hard times or sharing joyful moments with loved ones, she made a difference in ways that will never be forgotten.
The pain of losing her so suddenly is overwhelming. The quiet of the early morning hours that day will forever echo in the hearts of those who loved her. There are no easy answers, and there are no words that can truly heal a loss like this. But in the midst of grief, there is also remembrance — and remembrance keeps her light alive.
As the community in Muscogee County continues to process this tragedy, may we hold Lexus’ family close in prayer and support. May we honor her by showing love a little louder, by cherishing each moment a little deeper, and by valuing the time we have with one another.
Lexus Antrom’s life mattered. Her story matters. Her memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who loved her.
Rest peacefully, Lexus.
Your light will never fade. 🕊️
