A verbal dispute turned violent Saturday at a Lehigh Acres gas station, leaving one man dead and one man in Lee County Jail on a $500,000 bond.
According to Lee County Sheriff’s Office, deputies and detectives were nearby when they heard shots and responded within moments to a Shell Station. The office did not release the time of the altercation in a release Monday evening.
The sheriff’s substation is about a half-mile from the intersection of Homestead and Alabama roads, where the shooting occurred.
Witnesses pointed out Carlos Ortiz, 38, a transient, who saw the deputies and ran, the sheriff’s office said.
