A man was killed in a broad daylight shooting Sunday afternoon in a residential area in northwest Tallahassee, according to the Tallahassee Police Department.
Officers responded around 4:40 p.m. to reports of a shooting in the 2800 block of Faringdon Drive in the Huntingdon Woods subdivision. When they arrived, they found an adult male suffering from a gunshot wound.
“Life-saving measures were immediately attempted, and the victim was transported to a local hospital,” the agency wrote in an incident alert posted to social media, “but sadly, he succumbed to his injuries.”
It was part of a bloody Sunday in Tallahassee. Four people were injured near the campus of Florida A&M University overnight after bullets began to fly at a large gathering in the early morning hours of March 29.
About an hour before the shooting near FAMU, one person was shot and suffered non-life threatening injuries” in “the area of Potbellies,” a nightspot near Florida State University known to draw college students.
Preliminary information indicates the latest shooting occurred during a physical altercation, according to police.
“Currently, there is no known ongoing threat to the public,” the agency wrote.
The incident is being investigated as a homicide and remains an open and active case. Police have not released the victim’s identity or any information about potential suspects.
