Second suspect wanted in connection to Lehigh Acres robbery at gunpoint

LEHIGH ACRES, Fla. —

Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers said they are looking to identify a man connected to a robbery involving a firearm at the intersection of Meadow Road and Sunshine Boulevard in Lehigh Acres.

This happened on Feb. 4, and it is the same case where Roman Deleon, 21, was arrested and accused of robbery with a firearm near a 7-Eleven on State Road 82.

The victim said two strangers approached him in the parking lot and asked if he liked guns. After he said yes, they invited him to a canal by Meadow Rd. behind the 7-Eleven to go shooting, and he accepted the invitation.

LCSO said Deleon was accused of aiming a gun with a blue laser at the victim, saying, "Do you think we're playing?" and stealing the victim's concealed handgun while the other suspect attempted to push him to the ground.

Deputies arrested Deleon after he drove away with the second suspect, who was accused of shooting almost 10 rounds towards the canal, according to the report.

If you have information in this case, you are asked to contact Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS (8477), on the P3 app, or on its website. You can remain anonymous, and if your tip leads to an arrest, you may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $3,000.
