LEE COUNTY, Fla. -- Detectives have added 25-year-old Imari Colon to the local most wanted list after they say she shot and killed a man in Lehigh Acres last week.
The night of May 24th, deputies were called to the 800 block of Alido Avenue in response to a shooting. They arrived to find Derrick Henderson with gunshot wounds. He was taken to the hospital, where he died from his injuries.
Colon was quickly identified as the suspect in this case. She has been known to have ties in both Lehigh Acres and central Fort Myers, but is currently at large.
Tuesday, she was added to Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers 10 Most Wanted list, facing the charge of second degree murder with a firearm.
“We are confident that there are people in our community who know what happened, and are possibly harboring Colon,” said Undersheriff Carmine Marceno. “Make no doubt about it. Our detectives will find Colon, and if anyone is helping her evade justice, they too will be charged accordingly.”
Colon has previous arrests in Lee County for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and, most recently, for the sale and delivery of cocaine and marijuana.
Two photo of Colon are seen here, and investigators believe she currently has short hair.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Imari Colon is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS (8477). All callers will remain anonymous and will be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000.
