Roy A. Pike III, 28, of North Fort Myers was shot and killed on May 15, 2017, in the 1900 block of Cornwallis Parkway in Cape Coral. Pike was found outside a home with multiple gunshot wounds, was taken to a hospital and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Police located him collapsed face down at the scene and said there was no evidence he fired any shots.

Investigators say 27-year-old Ryan Doyon shot Pike multiple times. According to an arrest report cited by police, Doyon told officers he awoke to find Pike holding a gun to his forehead and demanding access to a safe; Doyon said he grabbed an M-4 assault rifle and fired, chasing Pike outside and continuing to shoot. Witnesses reported seeing Pike fall repeatedly before collapsing.

Doyon was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and held without bond; the case later went to trial, where the defense raised self-defense and the prosecution disputed that claim. The jury returned guilty verdicts for manslaughter and multiple counts of discharging a firearm in public. Pike’s family, including his father Roy Pike Sr., described him as having a troubled past with legal problems and drug use, and planned a memorial service in Destin.

If anyone knew Roy Pike III, his movements that day, or saw activity on Cornwallis Parkway on May 15, 2017, please share what is known.
