Florida Police Impostor Accused of Murdering 2 Teens, Wounding Another

"These senseless acts of violence will not be tolerated," Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno said on Facebook . "Thanks to the quick actions of our detectives, this killer was identified and arrested. I can assure you my team stands ready to aggressively pursue these offenses and rid these killers from our streets. The death of these two young men is a tragic and needless loss."

Robinson was charged Saturday with two counts of second-degree murder, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and impersonating an officer.

A man pretending to be a police officer allegedly murdered two Florida teens and wounded another in a wooded area in Lee County, located on the west side of the peninsula.

The Lee County Sheriff’s Office said that 46-year-old Elwood Timothy Robinson is accused of shooting and killing 19-year-old William Hughes and 16-year-old Jeremy Stewart. He also reportedly wounded an unidentified female teen with a gunshot to her hand. She is expected to recover.
