TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — The Tallahassee Police Department is asking the public for help as they continue investigating a fatal shooting during a part at Clippers Barbershop.
This is the second fatal shooting to take place at the barbershop this year.
During their investigation, police discovered that a birthday party was being held at Clippers Barbershop at 1815 South Adams Street around 1:37 a.m. early Tuesday morning.
