Fort Myers police detectives are investigating after a man’s body was found in an open field.

Officers responded to 1500 Markland Ave. in Fort Myers, where they found 63-year-old Aubrey Byron Carter, late Saturday.

WINK News spoke with a woman we’re only identifying as Gwen, who heard noises before police arrived.

“He laid on his horn for like 15 – 20 minutes. I was just wondering why he was blowing like that, but I couldn’t see around his truck. Then, a few minutes later, he left, and police officers came, and I came outside to see what was going on. When I asked him, he said he found a body over there. That’s all I saw,” Gwen said.

This remains an active investigation.

The Fort Myers Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance. If you have any information about Carter’s death, please contact Fort Myers police or Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers.
