On April 29, just after 11:30 p.m., the Tallahassee Police Department (TPD) responded to the 1000 block of Basin Street in reference to reports of a shooting. Upon arrival, officers discovered a crime scene with evidence consistent with a shooting, but no victims were on scene.
A short time later, one victim, an adult male, arrived at a local hospital with a gunshot wound. Sadly, the victim later succumbed to his injuries. A second victim, an adult male, arrived at the scene of an unrelated traffic stop where he was immediately transported to a local hospital with serious injuries.
During the ensuing investigation, TPD quickly identified two suspects as possibly being involved.

As a result, two suspects were subsequently taken into custody on charges ranging from homicide to accessory after the fact.
These swift arrests are a testament to TPD's tireless efforts and dedication to bringing justice to the victims in this case. If you see something, say something. Report criminal activity by calling TPD at 850-891-4200. You can also remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 850-574-TIPS.
