DOUGLASVILLE, GA — A Lithia Springs man is dead after being shot following a driving dispute that took place Saturday evening, according to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.

At approximately 5:30 p.m., Kalliber Chambers, 23, was shot and killed by Mark Wayne Munn, 34, at 500 Maxham Rd. Austell, in Douglas County, at the Birch Landing Apartments, in front of Apartment building 3600, according to deputies.

According to eyewitness accounts given to deputies, Munn and Chambers were out in front of the 3600 building during the afternoon hours with other residents and visitors. At some point, Munn left driving his girlfriend’s car, but soon after returned where he was described as driving too fast in the complex. Munn parked in front of the 3600 building and exited his girlfriend’s car. Chambers asked Munn to slow down for the safety of the residents and visitors. A short discussion took place in the parking lot between Munn and Chambers, which then apparently escalated to the point where Munn pulled a weapon and shot Chambers.

After shooting Chambers, Munn got into his own car and drove away from the complex. Eyewitnesses told Douglas County deputies the description of the car, and license plate number, and a lookout was broadcast over the radio, along with a lookout posted for nearby jurisdictions. Munn was later stopped by a Cobb County Police Officer and detained for Douglas County investigators.
