The Tallahassee Police Department is investigating the city\u2019s first homicide of the year after an incident Sunday in northwest Tallahassee.<\/p>\n

Officers responding to the scene in the 2900 block of Mission Road discovered a dead adult male, according to an incident alert posted<\/a> on social media at about 4:20 p.m. Authorities have not released the victim\u2019s identity, how the man was killed and provided no immediate details about possible suspects.<\/p>\n

TPD Watch Commander Damon Miller told the Democrat police were called to the scene at 2:18 p.m. and found the victim inside a residence. When asked about the cause of death and if there were any suspects, he said it is “still under investigation.”<\/p>\n

Detectives are urging anyone who witnessed the incident but did not speak with officers at the scene to call TPD at 850-891-4200. Anonymous tips can also be submitted for a possible reward through Crime Solvers at 850-574-TIPS.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Oct. 26, a woman was shot multiple times<\/a> and inured at a nearby residence in the 2800 block of Mission Road. A resident nearby described on social media hearing eight gunshots.<\/p>\n

In 2025, the Tallahassee Police Department investigated 20 homicides. Only four of them are still open and active, with arrests made in all the other cases.<\/p>\n
