The purpose of the study is to determine the tactical tasks to be solved at the initial stage of the investigation of murders committed with firearms and the peculiarities of their implementation on the basis of the analysis of investigative and judicial practice, as well as scientific works of domestic and foreign scientists. Methodology. To achieve this goal, a general dialectical method was used, as well as special research methods, in particular: the method of system analysis, comparative law, system structure. The scientific novelty of the study is that based on the analysis of scientific works of domestic and foreign scientists, materials of investigative and judicial practice, identified typical tactical tasks to be solved at the initial stage of investigation of premeditated murders committed with firearms. Conclusions. The position is substantiated that murders committed with the use of firearms are characterized by a high level of complexity, because during their investigation it is necessary to solve a significant set of tactical tasks. It is emphasized that these tasks include: establishing the identity of the victim; establishing the nature of the event of a criminal offense; establishing the place and time of committing a criminal offense; establishing the method of committing a criminal offense; investigation of the instrument of crime; identification of the offender and the motives for the crime. It was stated that the tactical tasks depend on the current investigative situation, and are aimed at verifying or refuting the investigative versions. The implementation of tactical tasks during the investigation involves the implementation of a significant number of investigators (investigative), covert investigative (investigative) and procedural actions, as well as certain measures to ensure criminal proceedings. In the context of this study, the most effective actions are identified and some of their possibilities are identified
