The Tallahassee Police Department said it was investigating two separate incidents of stabbings and shootings over the weekend.

Early Monday morning, officers responded to a man suffering from a stab wound to the chest in the parking lot of a McDonald's on West Tennessee Street, according to a news release.

The victim told police the stabbing took place elsewhere, but “officers were unable to locate a crime scene after searching the area.”

“At this time, it is not clear where the assault took place, or under what circumstances it took place,” TPD said. ” The case is still ongoing. »

Before that, a man was shot early Sunday morning in his car in a Circle K parking lot, according to the release.

Police were “flagged down” by the man around 4:45 a.m. at the gas station at 3433 Crawfordville Road.

“At this time, the circumstances leading to the shooting are unclear, and the case remains open and active,” TPD said.

Both victims of the separate incidents were treated for their injuries.

Sunday's shooting is the latest rash of gunfire in the capital and county this year.

So far in 2024, 15 people have died and 30 people have been injured in 38 shootings, according to the Tallahassee Democratic Party's ongoing analysis of gun violence.

Nearly a year ago, the same Circle K was the epicenter of another serious shooting that left another man injured.

On July 13, 2023, TPD arrived at the gas station after a security guard employed by A-1 Top Notch Security shot a man during an argument over a trespassing and criminal mischief complaint which escalated into violence, according to previous reports.
