On July 3, 2023, 22-year-old Johnathan Gilbert, who also went by the name Tyler Lane, was fatally shot on Dobbins Mill Road in Griffin, Georgia after confronting three teenagers who had gone to the residence to throw eggs. The group — identified as Sydney Maughon, 18; Jeremy Munson, 18; and McKenzie Davenport, 19 — had traveled together to vandalize the house during what authorities described as an ongoing lovers’ quarrel. Gilbert, unarmed, came outside to confront them; the three ran back to their vehicle and, as Gilbert approached, Maughon allegedly produced a firearm from the backseat and shot him multiple times. Gilbert was found unresponsive in the street and later died.

All three were arrested and charged in connection with the killing. Maughon and Munson faced malice murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime; Davenport faced malice murder, battery, and criminal trespass. The sheriff stated the trio were culpable because they planned and traveled together to commit the crime that led to the death. Gilbert’s family described him as someone trying to turn his life around.
