Tallahassee – A shooting incident during a pool party at the Redpoint Tallahassee apartment complex on September 1 left three people injured, prompting an investigation by the Tallahassee Police Department (TPD). The shooting took place around 7:03 p.m. at the off-campus residence for students, located at 2636 Mission Road, near the Florida State University (FSU) campus.

Initial reports indicate that two victims, a male and a female, were shot during the event, which attracted a crowd of approximately 70-100 attendees. Both individuals were swiftly transported to Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare with non-life-threatening injuries and are currently in stable condition. A third male victim arrived at the hospital later, also with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds sustained in the same incident. All three victims’ conditions are reported to be stable.

Preliminary investigations suggest that an altercation may have preceded the shooting, though specific details about the altercation remain unclear. Eyewitness accounts revealed that attendees heard multiple gunshots, which were initially mistaken for fireworks, leading to panic and chaos as people began to flee the scene. Witnesses reported seeing individuals running away after the shots were fired.

As of the latest updates, no suspects have been identified and no arrests have been made. The TPD is actively urging anyone with information related to the shooting or potential suspects to come forward.

Community Concerns

This shooting is the latest in a series of incidents at Redpoint Tallahassee, marking the third shooting to occur within the past 18 months. Previous shootings took place in April and November 2022, raising concerns about safety in off-campus housing areas among FSU students. Residents have expressed increasing apprehension about their safety in light of these incidents.

In light of the recent shooting, an email from the Regional Manager of Redpoint Tallahassee reiterated the complex’s commitment to safety, highlighting that firearms and violent behavior are prohibited on the premises. Despite these regulations, many residents criticized management for failing to ensure a safe environment, citing issues such as a broken entrance gate that has remained unfixed for approximately four years.

Impact on Students

The Labor Day shooting has prompted further discussions regarding safety protocols and the responsibilities of off-campus housing providers, particularly those catering to students. Concerns have been voiced not only about the shooting itself but also about the general security measures in place at student residential facilities near the university. The ongoing issues related to safety in these areas have significantly affected students’ perceptions of their living environments.

The Redpoint Tallahassee shooting incident highlights crucial public safety issues that affect students living in off-campus housing. With the local community looking for answers and increased safety measures, the TPD continues to investigate the incident and urges community members to contribute any relevant information to aid in their inquiry.
