Fort Myers Police Department Officer Adam Jobbers-Miller, 29, was shot in the head in the line of duty on July 21, 2018, and Desmaret pulled the trigger, investigators say. Desmaret is accused of taking the officer’s gun during a struggle at a gas station before shooting him. Witnesses said Desmaret ran back to the gas station after he shot Jobbers-Miller, where more gunfire was exchanged with other officers before he was arrested. Desmaret has been in custody since the night of the shooting. He faces a murder charge and the state is seeking the death penalty. At a previous hearing, his lawyers argued that he has extensive mental health history. But prosecutors said competency is a legal term, not a medical term. During the hearing on Tuesday, it was decided more depositions needed to be done. The next court date is pre-trial on Jan. 5, 2021. Jobbers-Miller, a firefighter turned police officer, worked for the Fort Myers Police Department for nearly three years. He hailed from the township of Wayne, New Jersey, where he was a graduate of Wayne Valley High School. Officer Adam Jobbers-Miller. (Credit: FMPD)
