Four injured in Lehigh Acres shooting at birthday party

A teenager’s birthday party ended in chaos after four people were injured in a shooting at a Lehigh Acres home on Tuesday morning.

They suffered non-life-threatening injuries, according to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies are still looking for who is responsible for the shooting. They would not say if it was one or more shooters.

As the party was winding down, the shots rang out.

The shooting took place on Cervantes Street East at around 3 .m. The scene is east of Homestead Road, not far from Mirror Lakes Elementary School.

Multiple bullet casings were marked on the street, and a member of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force was present at the scene.

One neighbor said it sounded like a fireworks finale.

DJ Ringtone, as he asked WINK News to call him, said he didn’t hear the shots ring out because he was playing music.
