TPD Arrests Suspect in Fatal Shooting on Faringdon Drive
April 02, 2026
On March 29 at approximately 4:40 p.m., the Tallahassee Police Department (TPD) responded to the 2800 block of Faringdon Drive in reference to a reported shooting. When officers arrived, an adult male was found suffering from a gunshot wound. Life-saving measures were immediately initiated, and the victim was transported to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
Following a thorough investigation, detectives with TPD's Violent Crimes Unit determined that a large altercation occurred stemming from an ongoing dispute involving multiple individuals. During the incident, the victim attempted to intervene and stop one of the fights, at which point he observed the suspect, Jessie Davis V, striking another individual with a firearm. As the victim attempted to stop Davis, he was shot. Davis fled the scene after the shooting.
On April 1, Davis was taken into custody and charged with second-degree murder and aggravated battery.
This arrest is a testament to TPD's ongoing commitment to seeking justice and holding those who harm others accountable.
