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.
