WTF? 17 Year Old Shoots Older Couple In Their Truck Trying To Get Past Mob In The Middle Of The Street In Florida

The Lee County Sheriff’s Office says someone fired into an older couple’s pick-up truck in Lehigh Acres while they were on their way to Key West, and the people involved are still on the run.

UPDATE

The Lee County Sheriff’s Office arrested a 17-year-old boy as a suspect in a Sunday morning shooting in Lehigh Acres.

17-year-old Armando Cruz faces 11 charges: attempted murder (two counts), aggravated battery, shooting into an occupied conveyance, discharging a firearm in public, occupied burglary of a boat, juvenile with a firearm, aggravated rioting, possession of a firearm during a felony, & criminal mischief.

The street race in Lehigh Acres is just one of the many in the community. But in this case, it ended with two people getting shot. Questions regarding safety and when this will stop are mounting.

According to LCSO, a car club blocked the entire intersection of Milwaukee Boulevard and Homestead Road for a street race. An older couple heading to Key West attempted to drive through the intersection. Several people broke away from the larger group and jumped onto the couple’s truck and the boat it was towing.

Crime Stoppers said all the older couple did was attempt to drive through the intersection at night with a large crowd on hand. And that’s when the couple got shot for it.

Pictures and videos on social media from the early morning of March 19 paint a different picture than the place Brian Radan and Lori Smith envisioned when they moved to Lehigh Acres.
