Arrest made in deadly Fort Myers shooting

FORT MYERS, Fla. A 24-year-old man was shot and killed Wednesday morning on Thomas Street, the Fort Myers Police Department said.

Taheed Kyrue Stoner, 37, of Fort Myers, was arrested after officers saw him shooting into a house on 3000 block of Thomas Street, police said.

Dewayne Johnson was hit by gunfire and taken to Lee Memorial Hospital, where he succumbed to his injures, police said.

Another man was also injured in the shooting. Dwayne Broughton, 45, of Fort Myers, along with Johnson, was taken to Lee Memorial with a critical gunshot wound, police said.

Vaneesha Natia Kent, 35, of Fort Myers, who was injured in an earlier shooting, told police Stoner, who is her boyfriend, might retaliate for the gunfire that injured her. She was shot as she drove along Thomas Street, police said.

Stoner is facing charges of homicide, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon.

It’s unclear who shot Kent, who is expected to recover from the injury to her hand, police said.

Last month, an officer saw someone shooting into the same house where Stoner and Johnson were hit Wednesday.
