A man is dead after a shooting in northwest Tallahassee just after midnight on Saturday.

The Tallahassee Police Department is investigating the latest weekend incident of gun violence – this one occurring in the Motel 6 Parking Lot at 2738 N. Monroe Street just before 12:30 a.m.

When officers arrived, they found a man dead at the scene.

A watch commander at TPD did not know if any suspects had yet been identified or if the individual who was killed was an intended target.

"Preliminary information indicates a crowd was in the area when the shooting occurred," a TPD spokesperson wrote in an online incident alert. "However the events that led to the shooting are still under investigation."

Earlier this year in January, a man was stabbed at the motel in the "upper back," according to police.

After a vote by the Tallahassee City Commission in February to waive $19,000 in fees, the motel is on tap to be converted into affordable housing in a $1.2 million project to redevelop the building into 105 studio apartments.

The incident is the second fatal shooting in the last two weeks in Tallahassee. So far in 2023, six people have been killed and at least 28 injured in 37 shootings in the capital city and county, according to a Tallahassee Democrat analysis of gun violence.
