TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - The Tallahassee Police Department is looking for a man wanted for shooting himself in the leg and trying to cover it up.

TPD says that they were called to to 2012 Bradford Court on Sept. 17 for a shooting.

When they arrived, they found a victim, later identified as 59-year-old Kevin Difulio, who was taken to a local hospital for non-life threatening injuries. Difulio told police that he was possibly shot by people in a brown sedan while he was in the parking lot of his apartment complex.

However, as police began to investigate the incident, they found that Difulio's story was false and believed the story was a cover up for the fact the victim shot himself in the leg and is a convicted felon.

As a convicted felon, Difulio cannot be in possession of a gun leading police to think this is the reason why he made up the story. 

Investigators are asking anyone with information about this case to please call them at (850) 891-4200 or Crime Stoppers at (850) 574-TIPS.
