Standoff on I-75: Photos from the scene where murder suspect caught

Interstate 75 traffic came to standstill for hours on Wednesday (July 22).

The apprehension of a murder suspect from St. Petersburg led to a massive response by The Florida Highway Patrol and Lee County Sheriff’s Office near Alico Road in Lee County (exit 128). The suspect was barricaded on the interstate.
