Paul Douglas Peterson, 28, of Clewiston, Florida, was found dead on November 24, 2018, in Lehigh Acres. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was discovered lying in the street at the intersection of Homer Avenue South and 2nd Street SW. Peterson was taken to Lee Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The Lee County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit treated the death as a homicide. Investigators from the Lee County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Marshals Service worked the case, but no arrests or publicly identified suspects were reported. Peterson had an extensive arrest history in Lee and Hendry counties, with charges from 2011 onward including assault and battery and larceny; authorities noted that history but did not publicly link it to a motive.

The case remains open and investigators asked the community for help. Does anyone who lived in Lehigh Acres in late November 2018 have information that could help?
