FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Authorities have made an arrest in the shooting death of a Fort Myers DJ early Saturday morning.

21-year-old Kahleel Perez of Fort Myers was arrested Tuesday morning and charged with Homicide, Displaying a Weapon during A Felony, and Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon.

According to Fort Myers Police, he's responsible for the death of 32-year-old Roger Brazil outside Scarlett's Cabaret on Fowler.

He was transported to Lee Memorial Hospital for treatment, where he later died. 

Perez is in custody in the Lee County Jail awaiting his first appearance.
