The trial for a Fort Myers man accused of fatally shooting his neighbor and his neighbor’s dog in Lee County has begun after years of delay.

Luis Walker, 50, appeared in court Tuesday morning for the March 2020 deaths.

The Lee County Sheriff’s Office said he was walking his four dogs at Lago Del Sol apartments off Gladiolus Drive when a neighbor’s dog ran toward his dogs and had to be separated.

Deputies said Walker got upset, grabbed his gun and shot and killed the neighbor and his dog.

He has been charged with homicide, aggravated assault with a weapon and killing an animal.
