SPALDING COUNTY, Ga. — A trio of Spalding County teenagers are facing murder charges after a “lover’s quarrel” went too far earlier this week.
Spalding County Sheriff Darrell Dix says Sydney Maughon, 18, Jeremy Munson, 18, and McKenzie Davenport, 19, went to a home on Dobbins Mill Road to egg it. While they were there, Johnathan Gilbert, also known as Tyler Lane, confronted them.
Investigators say as the three teens were driving away, Maughon pulled out a gun and shot Gilbert several times.
