“It is with a heavy heart that we inform our community that Fort Myers Police Officer Adam Jobbers-Miller has passed away,” police spokesman Mitch Haley said in a statement on Saturday. “We ask that you continue to pray for Officer Jobbers-Miller’s family, friends and our entire Fort Myers Police Department family.”
Officials said Jobbers-Miller was shot by Haitian national Wisner Desmaret on July 21 while he was responding to an alleged assault and theft at a gas station.
Once police arrived at the gas station, Desmaret opened fire, hitting Jobbers-Miller in the head. Jobbers-Miller was rushed to Lee Memorial Hospital where he was in critical condition until he passed away this last weekend.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials have lodged a detainer request against Desmaret as they claim he is an illegal alien.
Desmaret faces two counts of first-degree murder. Reports show law enforcement arrested the habitual offender eight times as a juvenile and 16 times as an adult.
