Man accused of shot in Mississippi two in Fort Myers on Saturday

Lee County's office confirmed that the alleged shooter, who was identified as a 35-year-old Roger de Le Cruz, was arrested in Mississippi on Monday morning.

Two people were found at the crime scene with several gunshot wounds and taken to the hospital. According to the authorities, both victims are currently in a stable state.

The neighbors described a chaotic scene that developed late at night.

Michael Atkinson lives right next door and described the moment when he realized what happened.

“My daughter's mother told me: 'Hey, make for our daughter.' I did that, I came back and at that time the police came here, ”said Atkinson. “It was a total confirmation – like, okay, yes, that was shot. Someone literally opened the fire here in Cypress West. That doesn't happen.”
