Aggressive robbers still evading arrest

Crime Stoppers is asking for the public’s help identifying two men who, armed with weapons, held up two Lee County stores within a matter of five days.  The first, and more violent, crime occurred on May 10^th at the El Cafetal Market at 2090 Beacon Manor Drive, Fort Myers.  Shortly after 8 p.m., a Hispanic male, with a white shirt wrapped around his face, entered the store and demanded money.

Although this year has witnessed more than 20 homicides in Lee County alone, a devastated family still holds onto hope more than 15 years after a father, a son and a husband was brutally taken from the ones he loved.  Trish Routte with Crime Stoppers has the story.
