The Tallahassee Police Department on Monday said Phoenix Ikner was released from a local hospital following an extended stay and multiple surgeries to treat injuries.

Ikner has been transported to a detention facility in the region.

He faces two counts of first-degree murder and seven counts of attempted murder.
