Tallahassee police are investigating a pre-dawn Easter morning homicide after a man was shot and killed early Sunday in the 1100 block of Apalachee Parkway.
Officers responded to the area at about 1:31 a.m. following reports of a shooting, according to the Tallahassee Police Department.
A TPD watch commander told the Democrat that shooting happened inside Zingales Billiards and Sports Bar.
When they arrived, officers found an adult man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Life‑saving measures were attempted, and the victim was transported to a local hospital, where he later died from his injuries, police said.
“Preliminary findings indicate the shooting occurred during a large physical altercation,” the agency wrote in an incident alert posted to Facebook. “Currently, there is no known ongoing threat to the public.”
The incident remains an “open and active investigation.” No additional details about the victim or possible suspects were immediately released.
Detectives are asking anyone who witnessed the incident but did not speak with officers at the scene to contact the Tallahassee Police Department at 850‑891‑4200. Tips can also be submitted anonymously through Crime Solvers at 850‑574‑8477.
This marks the 19th serious shooting in the capital city and county this year. So far in 2026, seven people have been killed and at least 14 people have been injured, according to a Tallahassee Democrat analysis of gun violence.
