The Lee County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a homicide in a North Fort Myers neighborhood.

Deputies responded to the home at E. Marion Ave. around 2 a.m. on Monday, blocking off the neighborhood for investigators to work the scene.

According to the sheriff’s office, one man was pronounced dead; however, the manner of death has yet to be disclosed.

WINK News reporter Annalise Iraola spoke with a neighbor who said he watched as deputies arrived.

“Looked and then saw the forensics. Then, I knew something was going on. When you got the vans that pull up and people walking in and out, then there’s some sort of an investigation,” said neighbor Bart Garrett.

Detectives are interviewing a person of interest.

Detectives will remain on scene throughout the day, according to LCSO.
