Fort Myers residents Ronald Eugene Ashley III, 20, Steven Lemar Williams, 20, and Jacques Lamar Brown Jr., 18, were booked into the Lee County Jail Saturday, according to a sheriff’s office arrest report. “I could not be any more proud of the effort and commitment displayed by all of our personnel to identify these three individuals and remove them from our city streets before they had an opportunity to harm another member of our community,” said Captain Jay Rodriguez in a statement. The trio faces charges of second-degree murder and home invasion robbery with a firearm, according to police. They are being held without bond.
