A Lehigh Acres man is facing multiple felony charges after a shooting Sunday night in a Fort Myers neighborhood that injured a male teen.

Shortly after 7 p.m. Fort Myers police responded to 2250 Royal Palm Avenue in reference to the shooting of a 17-year-old.

The victim’s mother told police that her son had been shot and was on his way to the hospital with some friends. Officers were dispatched to Lee Memorial Hospital where they met with the victim, who sustained a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.


The victim told police that he knew the perpetrator only by his street name and not his actual identity. 

Investigators, working with the FMPD’s Gang Suppression Unit, identified Jhony Anderson Mesidor, 19, as the alleged shooter.


The victim positively identified Mesidor as the shooter and wished to press charges.

Mesidor was arrested Monday in Lehigh Acres by the United States Marshals Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force and charged with aggravated battery with a firearm, aggravated assault with a firearm, discharging a firearm in public, and discharging a firearm from a vehicle.
