January 25, 2024

Today, Jan. 25, the Tallahassee Police Department (TPD) arrested one person following the shooting incident that occurred on Nov. 28, 2023, at a residence in the 2100 block of Melanie Drive.

Investigative findings reveal the incident originated from a dispute over $15 owed to the arrestee, Ashley Pollock, following a previous drug transaction. Pollock arrived at the aforementioned residence accompanied by Delma Pace shortly before 2 p.m. in an attempt to collect the debt.

Upon opening the door, a verbal dispute ensued, and Pollock brandished a firearm. Moments later, an adult male within the residence produced a firearm and shot at Pollock and Pace. The two sustained serious injuries as a result of the shooting.

On Dec. 5, 2023, while being treated at a local hospital, Pace died as a result of medical complications following the shooting.

After consultation with the State Attorney's Office, TPD detectives obtained warrants to charge Pollock with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and homicide.
