A dispute among a group in the 2800 block of Faringdon Drive in Tallahassee, Florida, turned deadly on the late afternoon of March 29, 2026. Police were called around 4:40 p.m. and found 26-year-old Donald Leroy Thomas III with a gunshot wound. Emergency crews transported him to a local hospital, where he later died.

Investigators say the shooting grew out of an ongoing conflict among several people. Thomas reportedly tried to intervene during a physical altercation and witnessed Jessie Davis V strike another person with a firearm; Thomas was then shot as he tried to step in. Jessie Davis V fled the scene but was located and taken into custody on April 1, 2026, and charged with second-degree murder and aggravated battery in connection with Thomas’s death.

Are there readers who were in that neighborhood on March 29 and saw the disturbance or have information that could help clarify what led to the shooting?
