“Your Honor, the state would ask that he be held without bond with special condition of no contact with any victims, victims’ families, or any other witnesses,” said State Attorney Jack Campbell, speaking in the courtroom.

The judge granted Campbell’s request. Many of the victims and their families were watching via Zoom.

Ikner is charged with two counts of First Degree Murder and seven counts of Attempted First Degree Murder. He was appointed a public defender.

Ikner was released from the hospital Monday where he’s been treated since he was shot by FSU police officers near the student union on April 17.
