Large police presence at North Fort Myers home

The Lee County Sheriff’s Office blocked off parts of Kaidon Lane in North Fort Myers as a part of an active investigation.

Emergency services responded to a call at 1:21 p.m. on Sunday at a North Fort Myers home in the Herons Glen gated community.

At the scene, first responders were seen carrying out a man in a stretcher as more units arrived.

LCSO deputies then surrounded the house with crime scene tape and began conducting door-to-door interviews with nearby neighbors.

A mobile command center arrived at the scene at around 6 p.m.

According to several neighbors, an elderly couple lived in the taped-off home.

One neighbor who wished to remain anonymous said she and several others are concerned about what happened.

“I don’t like this police presence, I don’t like the length of time, so I know that’s not going to be a good outcome from my experience,” said the source. “I’m here sitting waiting, hoping for the best, but I can only tell you this, they are wonderful people in this community, and both of them have been very good to all of us.”

According to LCSO, the scene was contained and they eventually cleared the area.

The investigation remains ongoing.
