Larry Lenere Miller Jr. was 24 when he was shot and killed on January 23, 2023, in the parking lot of a Taco Mac on Cobb Parkway in Cobb County, in the metro Atlanta area. The shooting happened about 12:15 p.m. while Miller, known as Tunck to family, was on his lunch break sitting in a car with a co-worker, Peter Lampley.

Miller tried to flee and was pursued while Lampley continued to fire. Witnesses heard multiple shots and one reported seeing Lampley chase Miller with his pants down. Miller ran into the restaurant but found the door locked, sustained multiple gunshot wounds, and was taken to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Lampley was taken into custody by the Cobb County Police Department and charged with Miller’s murder; he was booked into the Cobb County Adult Detention Center and held without bond.

Miller leaves behind a one-year-old daughter. His grandmother, Meta Edwards, described the family’s grief and confusion over why a co-worker would take his life. The investigation remains ongoing.
