Two suspects are being sought in connection to a shooting in Lehigh Acres Monday night that left one man dead and sent another to the hospital.
Lee County Sheriff’s deputies responded to reports of gunfire on Sunrise Boulevard and Genoa Avenue South around 6 p.m., locating two male victims, one of whom was dead, the other with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. The injured victim was later transported to Lee Memorial Hospital.
According to LCSO detectives, the incident began as road rage before turning into a homicide. They say this was an isolated incident that poses no threat to the public.
Detectives are currently searching for two suspects they say may have been involved in the homicide, as well as their vehicle. The vehicle is a 2010-2015 four-door black Hyundai, possibly with front-end and gunfire damage, said to frequent the Lehigh Acres area. Its driver is described as a heavyset white woman with freckles and blonde hair, around 5’4 and believed to be in her 30s. The passenger is described as a thin Black man around 6’0 with dreadlocks and a patchy beard, believed to be between 25 and 30 years old.
