Christopher Seabrooks, 32, of Tallahassee was shot to death on May 25, 2015, during an altercation on Country Club Drive. He had been attempting to recover property that had been taken, and witnesses saw him arguing with 18-year-old Brion Williams before Williams produced a gun and fired eight times. Another person was seen fleeing the scene.

Tallahassee Police identified Williams as the primary suspect, witnesses picked him out of a photo lineup, and he was arrested on first-degree murder charges at his mother’s home as part of an Operation Safe Neighborhoods effort. The prosecution’s case relied on eyewitness testimony and physical evidence collected at the scene; the alleged motive was that Seabrooks was trying to reclaim stolen property.

Seabrooks’ family and friends mourned his death and the case prompted community discussion about local violence. If anyone saw what happened on Country Club Drive that day or knew either man, please share information that could help clarify the events.
