Devin Landers, 24, was found with life-threatening gunshot wounds on July 25, 2017, at a home on Dixie Drive in west Tallahassee. He was taken to a local hospital but died of his injuries. The Tallahassee Police Department classified the death as a homicide.

Investigators say Landers was shot during a violent altercation at his girlfriend’s apartment after her ex-boyfriend, Lapadre Sharpe, forcibly entered the residence. Court documents describe Sharpe banging on and then kicking in the door, going upstairs where Landers was, and two gunshots being heard as the girlfriend fled and called 911. Landers was later found in the parking lot, and officers recovered a 9 mm handgun in the upstairs bathtub, a bullet hole in the bathroom door, and two spent .40 caliber shell casings; no .40 caliber gun was found at the scene.

Sharpe was arrested in Tennessee and charged with first-degree murder. The court paperwork links the confrontation to jealousy and anger in the men’s shared history with the woman. Does anyone have information about the incident or saw activity on Dixie Drive that night?
