On Friday evening, a vigil was held at Florida State University to honor the victims of a shooting rampage that left two dead and six wounded the previous day. The gunman, identified as 20-year-old Phoenix Ikner, was a student at the university and was shot and wounded by police. The two men who died were identified as Robert Morales and Tiru Chabba. Classes were canceled at the university as students retrieved their belongings left behind during the chaos. Ikner, a member of the Leon County Sheriff’s youth advisory council, had a troubled childhood marked by custody disputes. In 2020, he legally changed his name to Phoenix Ikner as a symbol of rebirth. Authorities have not yet revealed a motive for the shooting. The suspect used a former service weapon belonging to his stepmother, a veteran sheriff’s deputy who requested personal leave after the incident. The community is in shock and mourning the loss of life in this senseless tragedy.
