Florida State University alleged mass shooter appears in mugshot with disfigured face after hospital release

The alleged Florida State University shooter appeared in a new mugshot with a disfigured face after being discharged from the hospital a month after the tragic incident.

According to the Tallahassee Police Department, Phoenix Ikner, 20, was released from a local hospital following an extended stay and multiple surgeries for injuries he incurred during the April 17 shooting at Florida State University, where he opened fire on campus.

Ikner is accused of killing two men and injuring six others. The FSU student was shot in the jaw by campus police as they responded to the shooting. 

Following his booking, Ikner was transferred to the Wakulla County Detention Facility, where he will await his first appearance in court.

Phoenix Ikner allegedly opened fire at Florida State University on Thursday, killing two people and injuring six others.

The article was subsequently revised to state, “An earlier version of this article included a quote from the gunman in the April 17 shooting at FSU and was removed at the decision of our editors to maintain ethical journalistic standards and avoid amplifying the voice of an individual responsible for violence.”

The biological mother of Ikner allegedly kidnapped him in 2015, when he was 11, and traveled with him to Norway in violation of a custody agreement, according to Leon County court records.

In keeping with the Tallahassee Police Department’s commitment to transparency and accountability, the police department said the probable cause affidavit “will be made publicly available” after Ikner’s first appearance in court.

Ikner is expected in court for his first appearance Tuesday at 11 a.m., according to online court records.
