Life-saving measures were attempted; however, the victim sadly succumbed to his injuries.<\/p>\n<p>Through their investigation, detectives with TPD\u2019s Violent Crimes Unit identified King as a suspect. The investigation revealed the victim was asked to leave the Sound Bar following an argument with staff. A disagreement continued outside the business, during which the victim reportedly made threats and entered a vehicle. King then retrieved a firearm kept on-site for security and discharged the weapon multiple times, striking the victim.<\/p>\n<p>Following consultation with the State Attorney\u2019s Office, King was charged with second-degree homicide.<\/p>\n<p>                        <img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1779125712_119_a3a0aa1abb3a437c31d2fcb36e3daa871ab962337aec6126509e2dc7f6bf9bd1.jpeg\"  class=\"avatar avatar-80 photo\" height=\"80\" width=\"80\" decoding=\"async\"\/>                    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Tallahassee Police Department (TPD) has arrested 25-year-old Markus King in connection with a fatal shooting that occurred&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":275392,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[232,234,233],"class_list":["post-275391","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee-headlines","tag-tallahassee-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/275391","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=275391"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/275391\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/275392"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=275391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=275391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=275391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
