USF Empty Gun Case Investigation Closed
- On May 14, a grand jury in Leon County charged 20-year-old Florida State University student Phoenix Ikner with murder in the first degree and an attempt to commit the same crime in connection to the April 17 shooting at FSU that resulted in two fatalities and five injuries.
- The indictment followed an investigation that found Ikner acted alone, took the guns from his parents’ home, and targeted victims who appeared random without evidence of aid or a specific demographic focus.
- The grand jury reviewed witness accounts, surveillance videos, and police body cameras revealing scenes of heroism and horror, and declared the rapid police response prevented further deaths during the shooting.
- State Attorney Jack Campbell announced plans to seek the death penalty, while 32,000 people signed a petition urging FSU to install doors lockable from the inside to improve campus safety.
- University leaders will assess campus security and hold an October summit to share findings and consider legislative policy requests aimed at improving safety statewide following the shooting.
