Tallahassee Police is searching for a man accused of hitting and killing a pedestrian last month before fleeing the scene. The incident occurred at North Monroe Street and John Road Knox. According to officers, the driver was identified after the suspect vehicle was recovered. A warrant was issued and there are “ongoing attempts” to locate the suspect.
The Blueprint IA meeting – dealing with the Northeast Park – scheduled for Thursday has been cancelled. The meeting has been rescheduled for August 24th.
TPD is also investigating a deadly SUV crash at West Tennessee St. and Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. A driver in an SUV was traveling east when they attempted a left turn into a parking lot. A man on a motorcycle traveling west collided with the back of the SUV. That motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the hospital. No arrests have yet been made.
Three weeks after local law enforcement was ambushed by a woman with a rifle at Tom Brown Park while officers were making an arrest, the body cam footage was released yesterday. The woman attacking the law enforcement officers was eventually subdued by returning fire.
FLORIDA NEWS
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has received an endorsement from Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt. Stitt backed former President Trump in the 2020 election. “I watched what he did [as governor]. He never backs down. He’s a true leader, a true conservative… We need someone who can win,” Stitt said.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis also noted that if he is elected president, if he had Supreme Court nominees his picks would be better than President Trump’s picks from during his term. “Well I would say we’ll do better than that. I mean, I respect the three appointees he did, but none of those three are at the same level of Justice (Clarence) Thomas and Justice (Samuel) Alito,” DeSantis said.

We dont need a property tax increase to fund police. We need budget cuts. Like the northeast park. Cancel it or scale it down. We have lots of parks. Put that money towards security.
TPD wants help to locate a Man, they know WHO he is but wont SAY who he is.
The Meeting on the NE Park has been rescheduled for August 24th. I wonder how many $Millions the cost will increase by then?
When it comes to Supreme Court Judges, you don’t want them all at the same level of Justice, you want different opinions and mindsets.
“The Blueprint IA meeting – dealing with the Northeast Park – scheduled for Thursday has been cancelled. The meeting has been rescheduled for August 24th.”
Sounds like enough time to add another $2,000,000 to the cost.
