Christopher Iglesia, 24, of Lehigh Acres, Florida, was shot and killed on January 1, 2025, after an argument that started inside a Fort Myers Mexican restaurant and continued into the parking lot. Deputies found Christopher deceased with gunshot wounds at about 8 p.m.; officials did not disclose the number of wounds. His remains were handled by Lee County Cremation Services in Fort Myers.

Authorities allege that 25-year-old Steve Iglesia brandished a handgun during the confrontation and fatally shot his brother. Steve Iglesia was taken into custody early the following Thursday and charged with second-degree murder and battery. A Lee Circuit Judge ordered him held without bond on the murder charge and set a $2,500 bond for the battery charge. The prosecution is being handled by Assistant State Attorneys Hamid Hunter and Andreas Gardiner; an arraignment was scheduled for February 3, 2025.
