A North Fort Myers teenager faces a murder charge after his arrest overnight Wednesday.
Jail records indicate that Thomas Roy Stein, 16, was booked into the Lee County Jail just after 1 a.m. Wednesday. The News-Press doesn’t typically name minors charged with crimes, but are doing so because of the severity of the charge.
The arrest comes three days after 15-year-old Kayla Rincon-Miller was fatally shot as she walked with two friends. Cape Coral police didn’t immediately confirm Wednesday morning if Stein’s arrest is connected to Rincon-Miller’s Sunday shooting death.
