Murders last year increased 29% from 2022, which had 21 murders. But the staggering numbers didn't come as a surprise to law enforcement.

The Tallahassee Police Department is investigating a shooting near Springfield Apartments that left a man with serious injuries.

Around 10 p.m. Monday, an adult male called his friend and told her he had been shot, according to a TPD incident summary.

The man walked to his home at Springfield Apartments, 1700 Joe Louis Street, with a gunshot wound before police met him and "provided medical aid," the summary said.

TPD officers later transported him to a nearby hospital.

Much about this incident remains unknown including the exact location and circumstances of the shooting because "the victim provided limited information," according to TPD spokesperson Heather Merritt.

No arrests have been made.

In mid-January, one man was shot and injured outside the same complex after a verbal argument escalated.

There have been at least 10 shootings in Tallahassee since the new year resulting in at least 8 injuries and three deaths, according to an analysis of gun violence by the Tallahassee Democrat.
