OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/22/2026, a pedestrian was struck and killed by a Leon County Sheriff’s Office vehicle on the west side of Tallahassee.
.
According to initial reporting by the Tallahassee Democrat, the collision involved an LCSO SUV. The pedestrian died from injuries sustained in the collision.
.
The circumstances preceding the collision remain under investigation. Initial reporting does not establish that the deputy was involved in a pursuit, nor does it establish that the deputy was responding to an emergency call at the time of the collision. Those details should therefore remain open pending release of the crash investigation.
.
The Leon County Sheriff’s Office also has not publicly identified the deputy driving the SUV.
.
This is particularly worth following because another Leon County Sheriff’s Office SUV was involved in a separate crash Saturday evening, less than 24 hours after the fatal pedestrian collision. The Tallahassee Democrat reported the second crash occurred in northwest Tallahassee.
