The Tallahassee Police Department (TPD) has arrested one individual in connection with a homicide that occurred on September 30 within the 700 block of Delaware Street.

Following a thorough and swift investigation, detectives with TPD's Violent Crimes Unit determined that the victim and the suspect, 29-year-old Al'layza Henry, were known to one another.

On the day of the homicide, both the victim and suspect were observed inside the residence together. Later that day officers responded to the same residence and located the victim deceased inside, suffering from a single gunshot wound.

After consulting with the State Attorney's Office, arrest warrants were obtained. Henry was subsequently taken into custody on October 7, 2026.
