The suspect, stepson of a deputy sheriff, was on the Sheriff's Youth Advisory Council, and had a history of anti-communist rants, support for the Gaza genocide and hatred towards minorities.

The suspect in the Florida State University shooter, who faces first degree murder charges for killing two and injuring five on Thursday was a member of Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA, a fascist youth group around the Republican Party, and is a registered Republican voter in Florida. The 20-year-old suspect, Phoenix Ikner, is the stepson of Leon County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Jessica Ikner, who has been with the department for 18 years.
