The suspect or suspects remain at large after an “unsanctioned pop-up party” turned shooting left three injured at a parking garage outside Legacy Suites apartments.
Officers responded just before 5 a.m. to the apartments after hearing gunshots near the off-campus apartments catering to Florida State University students.
When they arrived, police found a man suffering from life-threatening injuries and transported him to a local hospital.
Two other victims, also adult males, later arrived at local hospitals with injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
Police said a large crowd had gathered in a parking garage at 411 Chapel Drive when the shooting occurred.
The investigation remains open and active, according to the Tallahassee Police Department. A TPD spokesperson said they may be looking for more than one suspect, and the agency is hoping other witnesses come forward.
Anyone with information is asked to call TPD at 850-891-4200 or Crime Solvers at 850-574-TIPS. More information will be released as it becomes available.
So far this year, nine people have been killed and 18 injured in at least 23 serious shootings in the capital city and Leon County, according to a Tallahassee Democrat analysis of gun violence that tracks incidents involving injury, death or a clear risk of serious harm.
