TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WFLA) — New information has emerged regarding the sequence of events leading up to and following last month’s fatal shooting at Florida State University.

20-year-old Phoenix Ikner, the alleged shooter, faces two counts of first-degree murder and seven counts of attempted murder.

Officials report that the revised timeline commenced with Ikner arriving at an FSU parking garage at 11:00 a.m., moving in and out of his vehicle over approximately an hour.

11:56 a.m. – Ikner fires his first shot.

11:57 a.m. – Ikner is then seen running with a firearm towards the student union.

11:58 a.m. – Numerous 911 calls were made as Ikner continued his shooting spree, hitting multiple victims, including pursuing Tiru Chabba, who was attempting to flee and was shot again while on the ground.

11:59 a.m. – Ikner shoots Robert Morales in the food court. Morales and Chabba both died as a result.

12:00 p.m. – Responding officers make contact with Ikner, where he is shot in the jaw and detained near the student union.

Police say the incident was resolved in under 5 minutes. Despite the quick response, the suspect was able to injure eight people and impact the lives of hundreds.

“Our family and many of us have been kind of left in the dark in terms of what’s happening,” said Bakari Sellers, Civil Rights Attorney.

Lawyers representing the family of Tiru Chabba, still have questions for law enforcement and the university.

“We need to understand who the shooter was. We need to understand his background. We need to understand what the University knew about who the shooter was and their background,” said Sellers.

As investigators work to piece together that background, they’ve uncovered key evidence from the scene.

A .45 caliber Glock handgun was recovered near Ikner. An orange hummer, registered to Phoenix’s father was also located next to the student union, with a shotgun found inside.

The investigation remains open and active. Tallahassee police department and the FBI continue to interview witnesses and victims, while Ikner remains in the Wakulla County Detention Facility.

Court records show Ikner’s next appearance in front of a Judge may be on June 11th, 2025.
