A man has been arrested in connection to a Lehigh Acres homicide that happened Sunday on the 3000 block of 25th Street SW.
The Lee County Sherrif’s Office responded to reports of a shooting and found Terance Brown dead with multiple gunshot wounds. Family members confirmed the identity of Brown.
Sheriff Carmine Marceno said during a press conference, the victim was leaving a house to meet someone and was shot outside.
Benjamin Austin Paige was found to be the suspect and arrested Wednesday in Charlotte County.
Paige has previous convictions on weapons charges and was released from prison in January.
Marceno also said Paige knew the victim for about a week through social media and was “sexually involved with the victim in this case and became angry over the victim’s refusal to delete sexually explicit images between the two.”
Paige faces a second-degree murder charge and possession of a weapon of a convicted felon.
