Fort Myers police say the man who turned himself in over the Winkler Avenue shooting is now charged with second-degree murder

Fort Myers police say the man who turned himself in after a woman was shot dead at an apartment complex on Winkler Avenue is now charged with second-degree murder and is being held in the Lee County Jail.

WINK News reporters Eric Lovelace, Zoe Warner and Jillian Haggerty reported the department's account on Monday, in a story the outlet updated through the evening. This site carried the earlier stage of the same story on Monday afternoon, when the department had said only that one person was in custody.

According to the police department, the sequence began just before 8 a.m. on Monday, when officers were sent to Winkler Avenue after reports of gunshots. The department says they arrived to find an adult woman with an apparent gunshot wound, and that she was pronounced dead at the scene.

The department has named the man it says it charged as Willian Rosa Do'Amaral, and says he turned himself in to law enforcement rather than being located and arrested. It says its investigation determined that he and the woman who died knew each other, and it describes the shooting as an isolated incident that poses no threat to the public.

Every claim in the paragraphs above is the police department's account, reported by WINK News. None of it has been tested in court. A charge establishes that an agency believes it has grounds to file, which is not a finding that a person did anything. Do'Amaral has not entered a plea, has not been convicted of any offense, and no attorney of record for him appeared on any public docket reachable at the time of publication. He is in the Lee County Jail and could not be reached for comment.

The department has not released the name of the woman who died, and attributes that to Marsy's Law, the provision of the Florida Constitution that allows victims and their families to keep identifying information from being disclosed. Friends have spoken publicly about her. One of them, Jannsk Karram, told WINK News that she had finished college about six months earlier, that she was always working, and that the Brazilian community in the area is grieving her. This brief does not name her, because the agency has not, and the choice to withhold the name belongs to her family rather than to this publication.

The department has not said what it believes led to the shooting, has stated no motive, and has not released the block of Winkler Avenue where the apartment complex sits. This brief supplies none of those.

There is no public agency document setting out these facts at a stable address. The Fort Myers Police Department's own website was not reachable from this newsroom at the time of publication, at any of its published addresses, and the department distributes case information to newsrooms directly rather than posting a release for each case. The account is therefore carried here as the department gave it to the newsroom that reported it, attributed accordingly.

Police say the investigation remains active, and have asked anyone with further information to contact the Fort Myers Police Department or Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers.
