TPD Increases Enforcement Efforts Following Recent Shooting Incidents

June 08, 2026

The Tallahassee Police Department (TPD) has made an arrest in connection with a weekend shooting that left three people injured and continues to actively investigate several recent acts of gun violence across the community.

One of the most recent incidents occurred following a physical disturbance as a large crowd gathered in the parking lot of 2020 South Adams Street just before 3 a.m. on Sunday, June 7. A short time after the fight, one of the involved individuals retrieved a firearm and began shooting, striking three people. All three victims were shot while attempting to flee the area.

Following a quick and thorough investigation, the suspect was arrested and now faces three counts of attempted murder.

Over the last month, Tallahassee has experienced nine separate shootings resulting in 13 people injured and three homicides. Many of these incidents have occurred in or around locations where large crowds had gathered.

While preliminary findings indicate each case is isolated in nature, the common denominator is clear: large, unsanctioned gatherings can create environments where conflicts escalate quickly, and innocent people are placed at risk.

In response, TPD is continuing to dedicate significant resources toward addressing these incidents through increased patrols, proactive enforcement, and focused monitoring of areas where large crowds are known to gather.

"Every shooting is unacceptable, and every victim is one too many," said Chief Lawrence Revell. "Our officers, detectives and specialized units are working tirelessly to prevent violence, hold offenders accountable and keep our community safe. We have made arrests and will continue to pursue those responsible for these crimes. But public safety is a shared responsibility. We encourage residents to partner with us by reporting large gatherings and suspicious activity before violence occurs."

The department is asking community members to immediately notify law enforcement when they observe large crowds gathering in public spaces, parking lots or other locations where disturbances may develop. Early notification allows officers the opportunity to respond proactively, deter criminal activity and prevent situations from escalating.

The Tallahassee Police Department remains committed to protecting our community and will continue working alongside residents to address violence, improve public safety and hold offenders accountable.
