A woman is in the hospital after her husband came to her Collier County workplace and shot her Saturday morning.

The Collier County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the shooting of one victim at medical supply manufacturing company Arthrex Manufacturing, in Ave Maria.

The incident happened after 5:30 a.m. and the building was locked down for a period of time.

The victim was taken to the hospital with a non-life-threatening wound to the leg, and deputies are calling the incident domestic-related since the two are a couple.

The sheriff’s office report states the victim was shot in the kitchen area of the building by Dominic Govea, 39, who was arrested and faces charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon without intent to kill, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

The report states that a coworker of the victim let Govea into the building after Govea asked if she was there. Once he was inside, Govea pulled out a firearm and fired two shots, one of them hitting the victim. Witnesses were able to provide a description of the suspect and his vehicle, with Govea later being found by deputies on the Everglades Boulevard I-75 overpass.

A judge on Sunday set Govea’s bond at $200,000. His next court date is Jan. 11.
