Today, Jan. 8, the Tallahassee Police Department (TPD) arrested an adult male in connection with a fatal shooting that occurred on Jan. 7 at Good Vibes Only nightclub, located at 809 Railroad Avenue.
Following a swift and thorough investigation by TPD’s Violent Crimes Unit, it was determined the shooting resulted from a verbal altercation that turned physical between the arrestee, a male suspect, and the male victim.
