The suspected FSU shooting suspect Phoenix Ikner, has been denied bond. Twenty-year-old Ikner charged with two counts of first degree murder and seven counts of attempted murder.

Court records show on April 17 at 11:58 a.m., the Consolidated Dispatch Agency received multiple calls reporting an active shooter at FSU between the Student Union and Moore Auditorium.

Officers say they encountered the suspect in a shooting stance outside the Student Union. According to the arrest affidavit, the suspect was seen shooting at a person running away when officers approached him. The documents show a responding officer shot the suspect, who identified himself as Phoenix Ikner.

Officers say a .45 caliber glock handgun was recovered near Ikner at the scene.

They say they found several victims were located on scene.

Surveillance video captured Ikner chasing a victim, identified as Tiru Chabba and shooting him, then shooting him again while he was on the ground. Chabba died on scene.

Another camera captured Ikner walking through the food court and shooting another victim Robert Morales in the back, who also died.

The arrest affidavit says Ikner pointed a shotgun at a victim, but the weapon appeared to malfunction or was not loaded.
