TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – Two men are dead in what police are investigating as homicides after a shooting on Dade Steet Tuesday night.
The two men were found with gunshot wounds at the 1100 block of Dade Street near the Lawrence-Gregory Community Center just before 9:30 p.m., according to the Tallahassee Police Department. One man died on the scene, and the other died after being transported to a hospital, according to TPD.

The shooting occurred north of Florida State University, near the Frenchtown area and the heart of the capital city.
“This remains an open and active investigation and updates will be provided as more information becomes available,” TPD public information officer Alicia Turner said.
No arrests have been made, according to TPD, but investigators are following leads. No suspect description is available at this time, TPD said.
The scene is active as of 11 p.m., with many officers on hand. Police tape blocked off the recreation center, and about a dozen evidence markers littered the parking lot in front of the building.
Many of the markers were near a silver sedan parked in the parking lot in front of the center, near the intersection of Dade Street and Griffin Street, that had its doors open. Investigators shone flashlights into the vehicle and surveyed it as they worked.
Down Dade Street just out of sight from the first vehicle, officers examined a dark-colored sedan with its doors open, too. This second vehicle was near the intersection of Brewer Street and Dade Street.
