Montavious Gunn was a 17-year-old Black teenager from LaGrange, Georgia, known affectionately by some as 3 bubba. His life ended in the early morning hours of Saturday, May 27, 2023, when officers responding to an emergency call on the 900 block of Fourth Avenue found him with a severe gunshot wound to the chest. He was taken to Wellstar Hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

LaGrange Police detectives opened an immediate investigation that led to the arrest of a 16-year-old male; because he is a juvenile his name was not released. The teenager was charged with involuntary manslaughter and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. The shooting was one of two unrelated incidents involving teenagers in Troup County that same weekend. As of May 2023 the investigation was ongoing and authorities asked anyone with information to contact the LaGrange Police Department at 706-883-2603.
