The hunt for a killer continues in one Bonita Springs neighborhood.

Lee County deputies swarmed the area around Matheson Avenue and Park Avenue at 11 p.m. Saturday night, responding to reports of shots fired.

Authorities revealed the identity of the victim as Destiney Bocanegra.

A neighbor who says he was sleeping inside his house when shots rang out says it was just before midnight. When he ventured outside to investigate, he found a young woman lying on the ground, bleeding from an apparent gunshot wound.

The Lee County Sheriff’s Office is calling this a homicide. They do say, however, that it was an isolated incident and there is no threat to the public at this time.

The investigation continues.
