Fort Myers woman identified as Saturday homicide victim in Bonita Springs neighborhood

Lee County Sheriff's Office deputies guard a section of Matheson Avenue in Bonita Springs where a homicide occurred late Saturday night. No details were available.

A Fort Myers woman has been identified as the victim of a homicide in Bonita Springs Saturday night.

The Lee County Sheriff's Office said Destiney Bocanegra, 25, was the person found in the area of Matheson Avenue and Goodwin Street in Bonita Springs. She was Lee County's eighth homicide since April 7.

An investigation into her death remains active in the Matheson neighborhood after a shooting was reported there Saturday night at about 11:15 p.m.

On Sunday morning, residents in The Gardens, a condominium and apartment community that abuts Matheson, were walking their dogs and talking about the police presence. The property is separated from Matheson by a six-foot, green metal fence.

"There was music all night long," said Helen Breen, out for a stroll with her pooch. "It was pretty loud."

Breen said she went inside about 10 p.m. and didn't hear any gunfire.

A second Lee County Sheriff's Office crime scene technician van arrives at a section of Matheson Avenue in Bonita Springs on Sunday morning where a homicide occurred late Saturday night. No details were available.

"They're having a good time," she said. "It sounds like they're doing karaoke. Someone is singing and then they laugh."

She said the music, which wasn't obtrusive to her, usually gets going on the weekends and right in the area where crime tape had the road sectioned off.

Other Gardens residents also said they heard the music and what sounded like firecrackers and then the area got quiet until deputies arrived.

A section of Matheson from just beyond Goodwin to almost Longfellow Lane, including Park Avenue, was closed to traffic by police tape.

A reddish-brown home at 27220 Matheson and a light brown van parked on the property along Park seemed to be the focus of the crime scene investigation.

A Lee County Sheriff's Office crime scene van was parked in front of the home. A second crime scene van arrived shortly before 9 a.m.
