LEE COUNTY, Fla. — Lee County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene of a death investigation at 17820 Palm Beach Blvd where a woman was shot and killed in a crossfire.
LCSO took the suspect, Kodie Richardson, 23, into custody early Monday morning.
According to LCSO, Richardson showed up at the home and got into an argument with multiple residents. Richardson then stole a gun from the home and started shooting it at the residents.
LCSO says that the residents fired back to defend themselves when an innocent woman was struck in the passenger seat of Richardson’s car.
Richardson took the deceased woman to a friend's house which is when a citizen called 911.
Deputies took Richardson to LCSO headquarters for questioning along with other suspects involved.
Richardson was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, second-degree murder on two counts, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon on two counts, and armed burglary of a dwelling.
At a court appearance Tuesday a judge decided to withhold bond after it was revealed Richardson has prior cases pending in Lee and Hendry Counties.
His next court appearance is scheduled for Aug. 15.
