A man is dead after he was shot July 6 in a large crowd gathered in South Tallahassee.
“Officers on scene were attempting to disperse a large crowd at 3030 South Adams Street when a shooting occurred,” an incident alert from the Tallahassee Police Department says.
Following the shooting at about 2:40 a.m. near the entrance of the University Courtyard Apartments, located at 3025 South Adams Street, a man was found dead from a gunshot wound.
A homicide investigation was immediately launched, and another man, who was “observed by officers shooting a gun during the incident,” was taken into custody.
TPD did not release the man’s name or the charges he faces. No other details were provided about the incident.
The case remains open and active and detectives ask anyone who may have information about the incident, but did not speak with an officer on scene, to call 850-891-4200. They may also remain anonymous and be eligible for a cash reward by calling Crime Solvers at 850-574-TIPS.
This is the 12th fatal shooting in a year that has seen at least 33 serious shootings that have left 23 people injured, according to a Tallahassee Democrat analysis of gun violence.
