"There is no excuse for what this man did to a nine-day-old infant," said 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐟 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐨. "I am incredibly proud of the work our Special Victims Unit detectives do to protect the most vulnerable members of our community. In this case, their swift response and diligent investigative work led to a quick arrest. These cases are heartbreaking, but I want our community to know that our detectives take them seriously and work tirelessly to hold those responsible accountable and seek justice for those who cannot protect themselves."
On Saturday, October 31, LCSO deputies responded to a local children's hospital regarding a possible child abuse case involving a nine-day-old infant.
Upon arrival, deputies learned the infant had been brought to the hospital experiencing severe difficulty breathing and was partially unresponsive.
Due to the severity of the infant's condition, detectives with the Lee County Sheriff's Office Special Victims Unit assumed the investigation.
During the investigation, medical personnel determined the infant sustained significant trauma consistent with being violently shaken.
Through an extensive investigation, detectives established probable cause to arrest Noah Lils Alcantara for Aggravated Child Abuse.
The infant remains hospitalized in critical but stable condition.

On Sunday, deputies were patrolling Orange Grove Boulevard in North Fort Myers, assisting FMPD with locating a vehicle that fled from a traffic stop into our jurisdiction.
As the vehicle approached the intersection of Orange Grove Boulevard and Pondella Road, the driver, later identified as 𝐙𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐌𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐲, drove around a parked vehicle, through the red light, nearly striking a truck.
When deputies attempted a traffic stop, Murray accelerated, lost traction, and nearly struck another vehicle. Murray continued to drive over the median and into oncoming traffic. At this time, deputies safely conducted a PIT maneuver to prevent Murray from continuing to drive recklessly and potentially cause a deadly crash.
Deputies made contact with Murray and located trafficking amounts of Cocaine, in addition to other drugs inside the vehicle.

He never raised his right paw. He never stood before a crowd and promised to serve and protect. He never needed to.
Because every time he climbed into that patrol vehicle, every time he answered the call, and every time he ran toward danger without hesitation, he was living that oath.
He didn’t understand the weight of the badge or the meaning of the uniform. But he understood loyalty. He understood duty. And above all, he understood that the person standing beside him was worth protecting at any cost.
𝐇𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐊𝟗. 𝐇𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫. 𝐀 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫. 𝐀 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫. The one who would go first into the darkness, never questioning what waited on the other side.
He asked for no recognition, no medals, and no praise. Just the chance to do his job and return to the side of the handler he trusted with his life.
And when his final call came… 𝐇𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐝.
Today, we don’t just say goodbye to a police K9. We salute a fallen officer who served with courage, fought with heart, and remained faithful to his duty until his very last breath.
K9 Dundee, you never had to speak the oath. You honored it with your life.
Rest easy, warrior. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

One of the newest dogs in our 𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐃𝐨𝐠 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦, Emma, came all the way from the island of Dominica, hoping for a second chance at life!
Her journey to Florida wasn’t easy… she was abused and had to escape an attack. Despite a landslide blocking the only road out of the shelter, amazing volunteers from St. Nicholas Animal Rescue carried her, along with 12 other dogs, up and over a mountain to safety.
Emma is receiving an abundance of love and training from our inmates and Corrections Deputies! Soon, she will get her second chance at life and move to her forever home. 🩷🐶
An unimaginable journey, ending in unconditional love!
