FAMU says counseling services will be available to students and employees.

A homicide investigation is underway after a man was found dead at the Rolling Hills apartment complex on John Knox Road just after 2 p.m. Tuesday.

Tallahassee police initially called the death suspicious, then said foul play is suspected.

Florida A&M University says the victim was André D. Green. He was hired in 2006 and held various roles at FAMU, including adjunct instructor and Assistant Dean of Students.

A press release says Green "led the University’s historic hosting of the Southern Regional Orientation Workshop this spring. FAMU was the first Historically Black College and University (HBCU) to do so. More than 1,000 orientation leaders and professionals from more than 40 institutions from nine Southeastern states converged on the Tallahassee campus for the three-day event."

TPD is asking anyone with information in this case to call the police department at 850-891-4200, or remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 850-574-TIPS.

The Florida A&M University family mourns the loss of André D. Green, assistant dean of Students & director of the Efferson Student Union, Activities & New Student Orientation.

Green, also an adjunct instructor, worked with the University for more than 17 years.

Since he joined FAMU in 2006, Green rose from associate director of Student Government Association & Operations to his present role. He and his New Student Orientation staff recently completed sessions for the class of 2027.

Green earned his bachelor’s degree in human sciences from Florida State University and a master’s degree in student personnel administration from the University of Central Missouri, and a doctorate in Higher Education Administration from Hampton University.

Green led the University’s historic hosting of the Southern Regional Orientation Workshop this spring. FAMU was the first Historically Black College and University (HBCU) to do so. More than 1,000 orientation leaders and professionals from more than 40 institutions from nine Southeastern states converged on the Tallahassee campus for the three-day event.
