Florida State University Accused Gunman Revealed in Mugshot with Altered Appearance Following Hospital Discharge

Phoenix Ikner, the alleged shooter at Florida State University, displayed a disfigured face in a recent mugshot after being discharged from the hospital a month subsequent to the fatal shooting. 

The Tallahassee Police Department reported that Phoenix Ikner, aged 20, left a local hospital after an extended period and multiple surgical procedures to address the injuries he suffered during the shooting incident on April 17 at Florida State University, where he carried out a shooting on the 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 post received an update stating, “A previous version of this article had a statement from the perpetrator involved in the FSU shooting on April 17, which was subsequently taken out by our editors to adhere to ethical journalistic values and to refrain from giving a platform to individuals accountable for violent acts.”

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.
