No victims, no crime: Eads acknowledges concerns, challenges community

FORT MYERS, Fla. – FMPD is losing a battle against area crime; that, too, applies to the gunmen who shot into a crowd of teenagers leaving a party at Club Blu.

“Do we have a handle on it? It’s hard to say. After looking at what happened at Club Blu, it’d be easy to say we don’t have a handle on it,” said Dennis Eads, interim chief of the Fort Myers Police Department.

No suspects have been named in the shooting, which claimed the lives of two teens: 18-year-old Stef’an Stawder and 14-year-old Sean Archilles.
